Morning Sol and Jean,
Whichever way it is done, is there really any proof it has an effect on size
of the silver particles?
Asking for Proof in a world of theory is somewhat akin to asking for
a snowball in hell.
Yes, there is proof. If you have a Hanna PWT and measure the conductance
of the finished EIS, then add some H202, the conductance will go up.
Based on this statement, CONDUCTANCE and particle size are directly
related and go hand in hand,
ie, a change in EC indicates particle size.
We have been fighting this battle in the plant nutrient field since
day one. EC has no bearing on ppm of any specific nutrient. We can
calculate ppm of nutrients and we can measure EC, but neither can tell us
the other.
The real world is seldom a laboratory filled with scientist and facts.
I've done this test several times and invariably the uS reading of the PWT
goes up when H202 is added to EIS.
I am not questioning anything you said or that your observations are
correct.
I am questioning the fact that Electrical Conductivity changes
structure of any solid. Ions and combinations of ions can do lots of
things. Is changing mass, solids, and particles directly related to ion
changes?
This is true even if the EIS is perfectly clear to start with. Adding
peroxide can also turn yellow EIS clear, another indicator that particles
are being reduced or broken into smaller particles and ions.
I don't know enough about this to make positive statements. I think I
know enough to ask relevant questions.
So, changing color is another indicator that MASS has been
changed? Color is effected by other parameter also. I always thought
a substance to be every color EXCEPT the color that you see.
Some wavelengths are absorbed, and others reflected.
I think a combining or rearrangment could change color, while no mass
changes exist.
I'm not sure I have the terms or the mechanism correctly described, but
it is a testable result, since it is the ions that show conductance, not
particles.
I am not sure I have anything right. All my ideas may be wrong.
I have GAPS in my knowledge for sure. I am trying to fill some of
the GAPS.
May I ask, how could H2O2 cause smaller particles of Colloidal Silver unless
it was in the brewing?
Surely you aren't suggesting adding a drop or two of H2O2 per ounce AFTER
the Colloidal Silver is made would cause it to break into smaller particles?
Again, Jean, my thinking is close, if not identical to yours. We must
have read some of the same old books in the past.
I guess it is time for more chemistry lessons. My friendly physics
professor moved away.
I worked at a local college yesterday and will be there again
today. Most everyone on campus treats me like part of the staff. I have
been there longer than most of them. Been doing work there since the 60's.
My access card even says STAFF on it. It gets me into any door there, 24/7
without any time limitations.
The problem is, ...... I barely know how to ask a good question.
