    If you dilute the acid 50/50 with water, the reaction will be over in just minutes.
    I do it inside an outer container with some water to cool the reaction vessel, absorb fumes and handle possible boiloverflows.
    And with a cover over the inner reaction vessel to limit gas outflow, so that the NO2 can redissolve to help with acid usage.
    Another cover over the outer vessel limits emission to the outside.
    If crystals are needed, the already hot and fairly concentrated AgNO3 solution won't take long to boil down...

    Hello. Thanks for your video, 2 questions anyway :
    - you put excess of nitric acid. What does it become after evaporating the water ?
    - what happens with the silver nitrate if exposed to light, if you use the silver nitrate as electrolyte for plating ? I guess some silver becomes metallic and will precipitate and won't participate in the electroplating ?
    TIA

    NurdRage, what are your thoughts on omitting gloves when dealing with concentrated nitric acid? Because of its violent reactions with latex and nitrile gloves, I see many people simply ignore gloves when handling concentrated nitric acid. One of my lab instructors at university even said as much, but told us it was university policy to always wear gloves in lab so it wasn’t up to him.
    Do you always wear gloves when handling conc. HNO3?

I suppose it would be possible to make one using the RBF method and a couple of water pumps with enough tinkering lol.

      @@sevenproxies4255 I hate to disappoint you, but the Tollen's reaction doesn't work that well as a way to deposit silver. You need an absolutely clean surface (you usually use aqua regia or piranha solution for glas) and you can't really do that to plastic and the resulting layer is extremely sensitive to scratches, so you can't polish it. Also, for every piece that turns out nice there are five others with an ugly silverish-brown taint with brown spots.
      If you want to have a nice, permanent one-way mirror, there is no way around sputtering.

After several applications the flesh around the nail turned black, and after several more it dried out and look literally as if it was burnt, like a piece of charcoal.
