Had a lab today didnt go to well.  Anyways, when you mix silver nitrate and add 10 drops of HCl to it, it turns to a white liquid with some precipitate.  You drain the liquid and keep the precipitate in the tube which I assume is AgCl, then add some DI water then heat, what is suppose to happen when the heat is added.  Anyone here do a simular experiment to this before, in the other tubes I had lead nitrate and mercury 1 nitrate.  Also, does anyone know of where I could find the results of the various reactions between AgNO3 + HCl, HgNO3 + HCl etc.  Thanks

I guess that's just washing of the AgCl precipitate.

with HCl you get AgCl as you mentioned.

Bummer.

Yes, I've done this before.  You have 3 different reagents, you add HCl to each, rinse the precip, add water and heat.  What happens then?  To each one?

There should be something in the lab notebook that gives you some specifics.  Hint: something similar yet subtlety different should happen in each case.
