1. Silver oxide produces the yellow tint in cs, and adding H2O2
produces a clear solution. If the H2O2 generated silver oxide as you
propose, the solution should become a darker yellow, don't you
think? Here's an equation that may be useful:
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?
Here's another thought you might explore:
Try reducing a batch until it turns from clear to a noted color, then
add back in the exact ( as well as can be determined) amount of
distilled water that was removed. Now you should have a clear solution.
That kind of flies in the face of the above statement that color is
caused by particle size. Wouldn't the color remain if it was caused by
particle size? Adding water would change the concentration, not the
particle size.
I use a well cleaned coffee carafe on a coffee maker hotplate and
never let it get below half full. I can go to a deep honey brown and
bring it back to clear. I've done it a couple of times just to experiment.
I use the concentrate to make a gel or mix with aloe for topical use.
It doesn't plate out in a reasonable time ( couple of weeks) until I use it.
I have no idea how many ppm I have but I actually get a slight buzz
when I drink some.
I don't know how they made their determination 100 years ago but they
didn't have Mr. coffee to work with.
