To determine the concentration of chloride contaminants in a sample of industrial wastewater, an analytical chemist reacts the wastewater with excess silver nitrate solution. This produces a suspension containing a white precipitate of silver chloride, AgClAgClAgCl, in a solution of soluble nitrates.
Describe the experimental steps the chemist should take to obtain a pure, dry sample of the silver chloride precipitate from this reaction mixture.
