Why do you say that silver oxide makes the yellow tint? Yesterday I had a
saturated solution of silver oxide, and it appeared crystal clear.  I will
test again, but I don't think silver oxide dissolved in water has a yellow
tint, it is does, it is certainly very light.

The yellow tint is caused by particle size. This was proven over 100 years
ago, and all tests since then confirm it.  If it was silver oxide, how can
you explain that it goes to gold, then orange, then red as the particles
increase in size?

That is impossible. AG+ can only be formed two ways, first by EIS with
nothing but pure water, and second by being part of a compound, you have to
have an anion and cation to get Ag+.

I am not sure why you gave me the above url, that supports me.  Ag + H2O2
-> AgO + H2O and Ag2O + H2O2 -> Ag2 + H2O.  But it does not deal with AgO
at all, so I am still trying to confirm if AgO + H2O2 give Ag + H2O or not.
I may have this proven one way or the other experimentally shortly.

You have taken that site that gives the correct reaction for Ag2O of :

Ag2O + H2O2 = 2 Ag + O2 + H2O
which shows it produces silver atoms, or a silver particle of 2 atoms and
changed it to:

Ag2O + H2O2 = 2Ag(+) + O2 + H2O

which shows it generating ions, which would not be possible without another
element to combine with it.  Why did you do that, are you trying to confuse
the issue?

I already did.

Uhh, you don't have to prove everything, you can use well known references
for that, and I cited the reference that is in. CRC handbook of Chemistry
and Physics. I did prove that it is soluble to some extent and then
saturates at a fairly low level, just did not measure the silver content to
verify it was at 13 ppm.

There are only two compounds that are referred to as silver oxide, Ag2O and
AgO.  I have repeatedly indicated I am talking about AgO.  AgO2 and AgO3
are both referred to as silver peroxide, one one could call them silver
dioxide and silver trioxide to differentiate them.

I never said the black was soluble, I said the brown stuff was slightly
soluble, because it is. I verified that yesterday when I put it in a cup of
fresh hot distilled water. I said the black is silver peroxide and is
totally insoluble.

That is what I am doing, you seem to be the one twisting the facts.

I think that experiments with CS, H2O2, NaCl and ammonia is plenty
descriptive.
