Purpose
Procedure
Cationic exchange capacity of Laponite: 0.55 milliequivilient/gram Weight % of silver to be exchanged in Clay: 95% Calculation is shown as follows: 0.3 g LMT × (55 meqv/100 g LMT) × (1 mol Ag+/1000 meqv) × (107.86 g Ag+/1 mol Ag+) × (1 mol Ag+/1 mol AgNO3) × (1 mol AgNO3/169.87 g AgNO3) × 95% = 0.00009953 g AgNO3
