Will nitric acid in water interfere with the weight of silver chloride?

Doing a lab for AP Chem and this question has stumped me. We were finding out how to determine the mass of silver in an alloy and this is during the filtration process. Sorry if it is too vague but help would be great!

    hmmm Since ur NItric acid in water will be dilute, and Silver chloride is insoluble in many solutions...maybe u should use a more concentrated NItric acid, if u want to dissolve the chloride.

    Have u checked into the solubility of Silver Chloride in Acidic solutions?
