Copper Nitrate Synthesis Lab Report

In my opinion, our percent yield could have been much higher if we didn’t make these errors below. At the beginning, we cannot determine how to get rid the copper nitrate solution completely without losing any silver. Ms. Mandell gave us some hints that we could use a 2 mL pipet and suck up all the solution, or use filter paper with filter funnel. We chose to use the filter way, and it was a terrible mistake. As the solution was floating out, I saw some dot of silver are in the solution, so we had to wait for the solution to drift down and dry the silver that stuck on the filter paper with incubator. Also along the process, we might had spilled some dry silver nitrate when we poured it into the distilled water. The second error was the copper
