OK – I have 2 Ag solutions dissolved with 67% tec grade nitric. – First solution (this post) is from current batch of contact points. - Second solution (next post) is from my test bar recovered from the hypro (sulfide) material I have.
What has me confused is the black. I would almost think I had gold but this is a silver nitrate solution.
I did a 2 blot test on each solution. Top blot is stannous then solution. Bottom blot is solution then stannous. One pic is right after drop test – the other pic is same test after photo exposing to sun.
The AgCl is evident as the white Cl that photo changes when exposed to the sun.
The Pt/Ir would be the orange/brown ? (from Hokes Pt/Ir deep yellow – brown almost black if concentrated) So this could be the black ?
(from Hokes Pd starts deep yellow like Pt turning blue green after a few minutes) So is the black a skewed color of the Pd due to the multiple metals – or something else
The black appears instantly followed very quickly by the AgCl (almost instantly) then the orange/brown starts to appear taking about a minute to come to full color
