Make Copper Formate (for Making Copper Conductive Ink)
Added 2018-05-01 02:43:33 +0000 UTCFinal version.
I put in the sodium carbonate type as suggested earlier.

2018-05-03 17:26:48 +0000 UTCThanks! This has been giving me trouble for a while now. I have one other, completely unrelated, question. Have you heard of the Griesheimer process? It's used for producing potassium metal. It's mentioned here ( <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium</a> in the commercial production section) and sparingly by name in literature, but there's no meaningful information on it available. This is mainly just a curiosity of mine.

For more specific compounds you can use derivization, titration and reactive tests. I'd imagine copper formate to be responsive to redox titration and complexometric titration.

2018-05-01 13:26:29 +0000 UTCWhile it is possible, the silver on silver plated objects is very little, you'd waste so much more money, time and effort than simply just buying silver directly. But if you still want to do it. Cyanide is well-known for dissolving silver, unfortunately it's deftly poisonous. Thiourea and thiosulfate are other options but they're quite slow.

2018-05-01 05:17:18 +0000 UTCI have a problem. I'm trying to strip the silver off of some silver-plated tableware. The problem is that I can't use nitric acid (landlord has a very definite NO on it). The permagonate ion ( [MnO4]- ) is able to dissolve silver, but the only form that it's easily available in is potassium permagonate (KMnO4). This is a problem because the potassium would prevent the permagonate from dissolving the silver (to my knowledge). Anyone able to help?
