Many, many thanks to all the people who have responded.

Well, I did not use tap water, but I didn't use
distilled either. I used a bottled water because I couldn't find a
distilled anywhere. The label says nothing about chlorine, but I
imagine it could be in there.

As for filtering, this is probably what I'll do, but how can I know
the percentage of actual silver nitrate in the solution? Say I weigh
a certain volume of water (2ml) and then way a 2ml solution of silver
nitrate, the difference will be the silver. From there, is it possible
for me to get to the percent solution?

Thanks again,
Adam

BTW, I'll be mixing up a ferric oxalate solution very soon, and would love
to hear any methods to facillitate the dilution of this chemical.
