Decomposition of Silver Oxide

Movie Run Time: 0:38

Want to make some pure silver? Unfortunately you're not going to get rich... this reaction starts with silver oxide, which will cost you more than the silver you obtain! However, it is well worth the effort for the sake of chemistry - note how a wood split can be ignited during the reaction from the production of oxygen during decomposition.
