Note: Always follow lab safety guidelines when using chemicals and equiptment. As far as i know, and I know quite a bit in this particular case, you can get silver oxide in small amounts from silver oxide batteries. They are small and expensive, but i can guarantee their silver content. Silver cutlery will develop a silver oxide coating, you can try to scrape it off but that might not be too succesful. You might want to try this AT YOUR OWN RISK: If you get some cheap silver cutlery from Salvo store or Vinnies or something, you can file it into powder, react with conc. nitric acid and then add dilute sulfuric acid (or sodium sulfate) solution to precipitate Ag2SO4. Filter the solution, (wash) [add more water], and filter again. [I prefer to use acids because, if you can be sure of metal purity, obtaining pure silver sulfate is as easy as boiling off IN A FUME CUPBOARD. {nitrate impurities don't matter, because of next step}] After drying powder, heat to decomposition OUTSIDE OR IN A FUME CUPBAORD... [will produce potentially deadly fumes of Nitrogen dioxide and Sulfur Dioxide]. You will be left with mostly silver oxide, depending on how much you heat it... I suggest that you look up MSDS's for all chemicals/reagents/by-products above before attempting anything... ------------------------------Disclaimer---------------- I hereby accept no responsibility over the actions of the individual(s) who read or attempt anything metioned by me... I have made attempts to ensure that my information is correct, but accept no responsibility over wrong or misleading information... If anyone is in doubt do not try this!!!

How would you thermally decompose silver oxide?
Silver oxide (Ag2O) can be thermally decomposed in a process known as thermal decomposition. This process involves heating the silver oxide to temperatures between 400 and 600 degrees Celsius. To do this you will need a furnace crucible and heating source. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to thermally decompose silver oxide:Place the silver oxide in a crucible and place the crucible in the furnace.Heat the silver oxide to 400-600 degrees Celsius depending on the desired reaction outcome.Allow the silver oxide to heat for up to an hour depending on the amount of silver oxide being thermally decomposed.Once the silver oxide has reached the desired temperature turn off the heating source and allow the furnace to cool.Once the furnace has cooled remove the crucible and inspect the silver oxide. The silver oxide should now be in two parts: silver and oxygen.Thermal decomposition of silver oxide is a relatively simple and safe process and can be used to create silver and oxygen from silver oxide.
Is silver an oxide?
No, it isn't. Silver Oxide is a compound. Silver is an element.
What is the chemical name for AgIO?
The oxide of silver normally encountered is Ag2O, silver(I) oxide. AgO is an unusual mixed valence oxide silver(I,III) oxide)
How do you convert Silver oxide back to silver?
To properly dispose of Silver Oxide :• Add 100 volumes of distilled water to 1 volume Silver Oxide powder. (glass container only)• Add common household Hydrogen Peroxide, very slowly, with lots of stirring. (glass or plastic stirrer only)• Add Hydrogen Peroxide, stirring, until all of the Black Powder has turned gray. (lots of bubbles - Oxygen)• You now have reduced Silver Oxide into harmless Silver Powder. (You may want to keep it)• NOTE : Silver Powder also breaks down the Hydrogen Peroxide, forming Oxygen bubbles.
