Silver Acetate

[runninfarmer]

I've seen a video on youtube where a person dissolved silver using acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DOUaUzVYGM). I thought this looked like a good way since silver acetate is not very soluble and could easily be heated until decomposition to silver metal. I've seen a brief mention of this in a sulfuric cell thread on the forum when I search for it, but has anyone ever tried that? Seems like a possible nitric substitute?

Thanks for any thoughts

Be careful silver can form a lot in nasty compoundS.
R!esearch the bell rocket. Silver and strong hydrogen peroxide is an exo thermic reaction. I would imagine silver powder would even the worse.
There's silver fulminate
I believe silver plus aceytelene can to be dangerous
and then there is the nasty silver fluoride. It's formed when hydrofluoric acid is in a confined space silver. HF vapor pittsbugh silver and forms a compound that is explosive with water. Nasty little surprise

Not clear why to dissolve silver in the 1st place?
