Hello, I have to choose a method to determine Ag +% in groundwater (Morh, Volhard or Fanjas). I don't have to do calculations.

The thing is, I don't know how to start, should I assume that the groundwater has Ag +?
In the exercises, I only solve problems to determine the Cl-% or [Cl-] but never with Ag + and in the books I found the 3 methods, but I always use them to determine Cl-
Could someone help me with this? I think I have to choose Volhard's Direct Method, but I'm not sure. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Think what can be present in the ground water and interfere with the titration.

Think what can be present in the ground water and interfere with the titration.

Maybe Cl- or other halides, but if I have to determine Ag + in the groundwater, can I relate it in the calculation or is there another way to determine Ag +?

Try to google what is the typical concentration of Cl^- in ground waters.

What would be maximum Ag⁺ concentration possible?

What are reasonable limits of the Ag⁺ concentration that can be measured with the titration?

Do these numbers overlap?
