To use the Salt test for determining Ionic Silver Concentration: Take a known volume of EIS (Electrically Isolated Silver) and add enough salt to it so that all the ionic silver combines to form AgCl.
Since AgCl has a .8 ppm solubility, you should get a precipitate. Add distilled water (at an appropriate rate while stirring) until all the AgCl is dissolved. The total volume of water in units, compared to the original amount of EIS (one unit) should indicate the ionic silver concentration. Thus, a 20 ppm ionic silver solution should require a total of 25 units of water to dissolve the AgCl produced by the addition of salt to the original solution. (That is, 20/.8 = 25).

But add sufficient warm water and it will redissolve slowly. Add low pH HCl and you will find that the solubility goes way up.
