I am trying to dye (blacken) organic matter ( feather, wool ) etc. with 
silver nitrate, with subsequent exposure to sunlight. Do I use an alkaline 
or acidic medium for aqueous silver nitrate solution, in which these 
organic materials will be dipped and then removed and exposed to sunlight.

Is an acidic or alkaline medium suitable for this reaction chemistry.

thank you.
