Marshall: It was solid silver. I observed It, from the time it was half gone until it was completely gone and always retained an opaque silver color
Peter R ---------------------------- My guess is that it was a 14K silver plated copper chain, and the copper reacted with the acid. There is no acid that will attack pure silver metal at room temperature alone. If there was then cleaning stains left by evaporated CS would be easy. Marshall Peter Rebaudo wrote:
Marshall Wrote silver is one of the most inert metals there is, it is slightly more reactive than gold, but not much. You can drop it into fuming nitric, sulfuric and hydrochloric acids (independently) and nothing happens. Marshal: As a child once I try to clean a silver chain in an Ounce of the acid tinners use to solder. The chain completely dissolved after a few minutes. What kind of acid do You think it was?
