Making a silver mirror is easier than you think, with the right amount of chemicals and solutions, anything is possible!

To do this, we first need around 2.5ml-4.0ml of Ammonium Hydroxide 10ml of a .25M solution of Dextrose 15ml of a .8M solution of Postassium Hydroxide 30ml of a .1M solution of Silver Nitrate And a couple of beakers.

First you would pour the Silver nitrate in one beaker, and slowly add Ammonium Hydroxide until it is no longer dense but clear. Now add the Potassium Hydroxide to the beaker, and add drops of Ammonium Hydroxide if it precipitates, while stirring until the solution becomes clear. Now pour this solution togther with the Dextrose, and swirl Gently until the outer shell becomes a shiny, silver mirror! media type="youtube" key="oKETXMWtkBE" width="425" height="350" This video shows the contents already mixed well, and just simply adding one to the other to form the same solution, enjoy!
