This element is the most common one used in the central tube of a Walden reductor.
This element is the most common one used in the central tube of a Walden reductor. An ion of this element is back-titrated in order to find the concentration of the chloride ion in the Volhard method for a procedure named after it. A quaternary ammonium salt is reacted with this element's oxide in the second step of the Hofmann elimination. Salts consisting of this element and carboxylic acids are halogenated in the Hunsdiecker-Borodin reaction. The similar structure of this element's iodide to ice makes it useful for cloud seeding. Reaction of Tollens' reagent with aldehydes causes this element to precipitate and form a namesake mirror. For 10 points, name this transition metal found right above gold on the periodic table.
