How confident are you of your measurements? Basic chemistry says that
water with silver in it should have a density which is higher, not lower
than distilled water. However there have been a number of reports that
nanosilver structures water, sort of like homeopathy. If that is the
case, then any restructuring, or crystalization of the water would be
expected to have an effect on the density. If your measurements are
indeed correct, this may be confirmation of those reports.

I've been playing around with some small jewellers scales {0.001g up
to 10g} test weighing some EIS and found I have already observed one
EIS solution that actually weighs *less* than plain DW...???
How can this be so?
Or is this where Density or Specific Gravity of silver comes in, which
I believe is 10.5 {and this is probly SG of powdered silver as well,
not the same form of silver that we produce using electrolysis?} Or
perhaps it indicates different characteristics of ions and/or atomic
ion clusters in solution.
If this is where 'mole' weight comes in then I'll just stick those
scales back in the cupboard again and won't bother going any further
cos that's *well* over my capacity of chemistry/physics understanding.
I'm aware this is a bit of a cowboy method of measuring, and probly
won't be 100% accurate, but the scales DO indicate something with a
couple of different solutions I've played around with, which means
they certainly appear to be good enough for my exercise.
