Ah, elementary chemistry. I love it! OK, took about 3 oz of 5 ppm CS, 80% ionic, and added a pinch of salt. The solution became slightly milky. Added about an oz of household ammonia (ammonium hydroxide), and it cleared back up.
Good idea. That seems to confirm the hypothesis that the ionic CS reacts with the NaCl and forms AgCl. Darn, misplaced my laser pointer. I wanted to confirm that the colloidal part was unchanged by this, but I guess that will have to wait till another day.
