Analysis of Silver in an Alloy Introduction In this experiment an alloy of silver will be analyzed to determine its silver content. The silver-copper alloy will be dissolved in nitric acid‚ the silver will be precipitated as silver chloride‚ and the silver chloride will be filtered‚ washed‚ dried and its mass determined. From the mass of the silver chloride formed and the mass of the original sample‚ you will be able to calculate the percent of silver in the alloy. Because the results are

China. Enormous quantities of opium made their way to China‚ swelled by the number of merchants involved. By the 1820s‚ the value of opium coming into China exceeded the value of goods exported out.
