If your sample is obtained during a double replacement reaction you must first filter out the precipitate. Get the mass of a dry piece of filter paper, put it in a filter, pour the filtrate through the filter and allow all the liquid to pass through the paper. The solid that is trapped in the filter paper is silver chloride. Next put the filter paper with the sample in a drying oven for several hours. The temp. should be warm, but not hot. When it is totally dry remove the filter paper and sample. Mass this and subtract the mass of the filter paper alone.

AgNO3 + NaCl--->AgCl(s) + NaNO3
The silver chloride will be a solid and precipitate. You can pour off the liquid and dry the solid on a filter paper. It is light sensitive and will turn dark.
