    The document summarizes the results of experiments conducted on the properties and reactions of silver(I), mercury(I), and lead(II) salts. Key observations include: 1) Halides of silver, mercury, and lead formed precipitates of different colors with various acids and bases. Lead halides showed strong solubility in hot water. 2) Reactions with sodium hydroxide produced precipitates, except for silver(I) and mercury(II) oxides which did not react. 3) Reactions with ammonia produced precipitates for silver, mercury, and lead nitrates. Only silver oxide dissolved in excess ammonia. 4) Reactions with SnCl2 produced precip
