Tube
#1: Potassium Chlorate
#2: Potassium Chloride
#3: Residue from Crucible
Observations (after the addition of both nitric acid and silver nitrate)
no change, color: clear
spontaneously begins to change into a cloud like foam and then when tapped
the entire solution turns white, color: white
spontaneously begins to change into a cloud like foam but this time much
quicker, color: white
