Separating silver and copper in a solution
« on: October 28, 2020, 08:10:23 PM »
Hello! I have a lab about redox reactions and one of the things I'm supposed to do is separate copper and silver in a solution that contains both silver and copper ions. I am then supposed to present the separated copper and separated silver. I was given solid copper so first thought was to use solid copper in the solution to turn the silver solid, but this probably won't be feasible in a short lab. Does anyone know how I'm supposed to separate these two in the time span of around 2 hours? All help is very much appreciated!

Precipitate silver as a compound - qualitative inorganic analysis does this.
