1. So in EIS, Ag+ combines with OH- and gets AgOH. Some of this turns into Ag2O. Then some of both of these may get stuck together and form particles. Some free Ag+ and OH- also exist. Yes?
2. When we say that AgOH or Ag2O is "dissolved" does that mean: a) they are disassociated into ions most of the time. They occasionally recombine but quickly separate again. b) They are still in compounds, and occasionally disassociate into ions for a short time, then quickly tend to recombine. c) none of the above. 3. When we measure conductivity of EIS, since AgOH, Ag2O, and particles of the former do not contribute, this is an actual indication of free silver ions, right? 4. If we took silverchloride and just dissolved it in water and kept it under a reasonable PPM, how would this be any different than what we are making by electrolysis? Sorry if I have asked these several times already, but my Lyme brain is not the best. ~David
