If my math is right, here is a rule of thumb that you can
use for approximating the maximum concentration of CS when
you make it...
"The maximum concentration for 1 cup of CS made at 1
milliamp for one hour would be approximately 17ppm."
Reasoning:
Each Coulomb of electricity will deposit .001118 grams of
silver into solution. A Coulomb is 1 ampersecond.
For example, 1 cup of water is 227 grams. Run it for 1 hour
at 1 milliamp.
Find the number of seconds:
1 hour = 60 seconds/minute x 60 minutes = 3600 seconds
Find the number of Coulombs:
.001 amps x 3600 seconds = 3.6 ampseconds = 3.6 Coulombs
Find the amount of silver released:
3.6 columns x .001118 grams/coulomb = .00402 grams of silver
released into solution
Find the ratio or water to silver:
227 grams of water / .00402 grams of silver = 56467 / 1
Find the parts per million:
1,000,000 / 56467 = 17ppm
So, the rule of thumb would be:
"The maximum concentration for 1 cup of CS made at 1
milliamp for one hour would be 17ppm."
This assumes that the current is at 1 ma from start to
finish of the hour. (If it took 1 hour for the current to
go from zero to 1 ma then the concentration would be
approximately half (8.5ppm) for that hour, assuming that the
current increase is reasonably linear at this stage.)
These values are approximate and indicate the *maximum*
concentration you can get. Your effective CS concentration
will be somewhat less.
Using this value you can quickly get a rough estimate of
your (max) CS concentration by figuring out the number of
cups in your jar, the run time in hours, and the current in
milliamps.
