Dear all,
Help please....
I had some Silver Chloride which i had attempted to convert back to silver metal with lye (NaOH) and sugar.
The lye was added to the AgCl (very little water) and the solution turned black as expected (forming silver oxide) , however when adding the sugar to convert to silver metal the solution and resulting deposit changed to a brown colour not a grey silver colour as expected.
Please can anyone have an answer or a suggestion to what it may be and or what may have happened?
Many thanks in advance.
