Yes Marshall you are correct, the solubility of silver citrate is 280ppm. However it is thought that the silver-citrate complex formed by the electrolysis of silver in a citric acid solution is either a zwitterion where the negative charge is on the complex itself (Ag+CA-) where the total charge of the complex is neutral, or the empty 5s orbital of Ag+ overlaps with the delocalised .pi. bond on one of the carboxyl groups of citric acid.
This concentration of silver is found when generated into a 10% citric acid solution, higher citric acid concentrations allow higher silver concentrations.
