What would I do to be able to recover the silver metal?

AI Thread Summary
To recover silver metal from a solution containing silver ions, adding HNO3 will create a white precipitate, which is likely silver nitrate. To dissolve silver ions back into solution, ammonia can be added. A displacement reaction can also be utilized, where a more reactive metal is introduced to the solution to displace silver and obtain solid silver. The discussion emphasizes the chemical processes involved in recovering silver from its ionic form. Understanding these reactions is crucial for effective silver recovery.

If I have a solution filed with silver ions. (Ag, dissolves in water) What would I do to be able to recover the silver metal?

I think you would have to add HNO3 and a white precipitate would form in order for you extract silver ions. Going reverse, to dissolve the silver ions, you would have to add more ammonia.
 
What would the white precipitate be? Beacuse I have to write it out in a formula.
 
Is it possible to obtain solid silver by carrying out a displacement reaction? Placing a piece of a more reactive metal into the solution will displace the silver...

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
