I trust you are talking about the Ag+ ion which is an oxidiser. (Oxidise - the act of removing an electron, the oxidising agent is reduced in this reaction - gains an electron.) The Ag+ ion would need to encounter the Cl- ion for a reaction to procede, and strike it in a particular orientation. > In the Hach silver test process, the reagents react with all silver present > single atoms and clumps, which means that those compounds do have a strong > enough reactive potential to pull the atoms off a cluster, or there is > something there which does it first.
