All samples except one read 0.000 ppm, or below the detection limit of my equipment. Sample cs read: 3.466 ppm +/- 0.02 ppm. (Avg of 5 measurements, 75 seconds) Note: each measurement consisted of 3 readings of 5 seconds each averaged (15 seconds per measurement) Hope this info proves useful to your study. regards, frank key >>
Frank: Thanks very much for running my samples. I guess corrosion theory held true in that the less noble metals -- not silver -- corroded into the DW, but even in the cases when there was a significant rise in conductivity, it may have been only the zinc which dissolved since the copper content in the progressively higher XS conductivity alloys was roughly constant, whereas the Zn content rose as much as 5X. However, without a separate copper and zinc analysis we'll never know for sure which metal was responsible for the XS conductivity. Since the original question had to do with the possibility that SILVER may dissolve in DW, I believe it can now be concluded that pure silver and its more common alloys (Sterling, and probably coinage silver alloys) do not produce silver ions in DW.
