But I have never heard of a solution of silver nitrate precipitating metallic silver. JOH >>
James: I wasn't referring to a change in the oxidation state of silver during precipitation. I was referring to factors which control the physical form of the precipitate. For example, a few months ago I inadvertently precipitated silver chloride by mistakenly adding spring water to a batch of HVAC CS. The result was colloidal silver chloride that needed several weeks to settle. Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
