  • Density of silver: 10.49g/mL
    Density of water: 1g/mL
    
    Total mass: 1464g
    Total volume: 700mL
    
    x = volume of silver, mL
    y = volume of water, mL
    
    10.49x + 1y = 1464
    x+y = 700
    
    9.49x=764
    x=80.5058mL of silver
    
    10.49x = 
    10.49 × 80.5058 =
    
    844.51g of silver
    

    Probably an over estimate [of just the silver] due to the copper so probably more like 835-840g. [If just evaporating, the mass would be higher due to the lower density of the impurities like copper sulfate, so more around 845-850g. E.g. 5mL of copper sulfate would be 830g of silver and 18g copper sulfate = 848g]
