They heated the silver ore and blew air over it, a process called cupellation. The silver does not react to the air, but the base metals such as lead and copper oxidize and separate from the precious metal. What temperature does silver oxide decompose? Like many silver compounds, silver oxide is photosensitive. It also decomposes at temperatures above 280 °C. What is the correctly balanced decomposition reaction for silver oxide? Choice...
