How ever its more work and is harder to separate from any other base metals that are present.

The chemistry: It takes four moles of nitric acid to convert one mole of copper metal into copper nitrate, resulting in one mole of copper nitrate, two moles of H2O, and two moles of NO2. It takes only two moles of nitric acid to convert one mole of silver into silver nitrate, resulting in one mole of silver nitrate, one mole of H2O, and one mole of NO2. Copper has a much lower atomic weight than silver, so a gram of copper has 70% more moles of copper than a gram of silver, by a factor of about. If my figgers are correct, it takes over three times as much nitric to dissolve a given weight of copper than it takes to dissolve the same weight in silver. This explains why inquarting with silver is preferable to inquarting with copper.

Hello sir, copper needs about 3.4 times more HNO3 than silver. To oxidise (and disolve) 1 atom of silver from Ag to Ag+ you need 2 molecules of HNO3, to oxidise 1 atom of copper from Cu to Cu2+ you need 4 molecules of HNO3. Plus, there is about double amount of copper atoms in the same amount of metal. 100 g of Ag is 0,93 mol, 100 g of Cu is about 1,57 mol (1,7 time more). 2x1,7 = 3,4 So using silver saves nitric acid significantly..., if you have enough silver to use... 🙂
