Silver is a very ductile and malleable metal used for thousands of years utensils‚ for trade‚ and as the basis for many monetary systems. Its value as a precious metal was long considered second only to gold. In Ancient Egypt and Medieval Europe‚ it was often more valuable than gold. Silver is currently about 1/50th the price of gold by mass‚ and 70 times more valuable than copper. Silver did once trade at 1/6th to 1/12th the price of gold‚ however‚ the discovery of great silver deposits in the

The discovery of silver in Colonial America sparked a spanish global flow of silver as well as from the mines of Tokugawa‚ Japan. Although Spain was the primary distributer of silver‚ this global flow limited economic growth by creating an influx on silver. Peasants and people from lower classes were highly affected due to the fact that silver was required in an everyday basis but wasn’t provided for them. The Spanish‚ and the japanese served as providers of silver to the chinese economy. Throughout

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
