Thanks for your guesses, everyone! The final dry weight turned out to be 817g.

Unfortunately you weren't the closest (ended up being 817g and some people undercut you) but I will give you the award for most sensible calculation.

Congrats, you got it, ended up being 817g. I think the real winners are the people who actually did the calculations though. :)

I'm chemically refining some 90% silver coins I had into pure silver. I first dissolved them in nitric acid, then added copper to selectively precipitate the silver.

Unfortunately for you, I've got a hot plate and it gets pretty darn hot.

It's okay, you're both off by at least an order of magnitude anyways. :)

Just elemental silver.

Yeah I meant mass, but that's a fair question. I updated the title.

I feel ya.

This image long predates AI.

Yep, not arguing for the use of generative AI in the slightest. I very rarely use it myself.
