##...except that we aren't talking about large amounts. Agyria is irrelevent to the discussion.
I don't know how an ion selective probe works or what it detects.
In context of the ionic definitions and distinctions debate going on, wouldn't dissolved silver chloride be "ionic" and be detected by an ion selective probe?
And if the silver is no longer dissolved as an ionic compound that a probe could [or couldn't] detect, where is it and how is it? [Gone metallica?]
If the probe couldn't detect a dissolved ionic compound, what does it detect?...free ions [sans anions] that can't exist?
....or is the silver chloride no longer dissolved somehow, as you mention?
Adding later....[Ahh, I missed the factor that silver chloride is insoluable.]
Like watching the cliff hanger movie where the hero jumps off the cliff but you don't see him hit the rubble below.....It just sounds like something important is being 'left out' of the story with no sequal planned.
What's 'not found' leaves a great big question mark behind it...like the man sitting on a pile of gold who found no silver in his mine.
Did he find diamonds and buy all that gold?
...maybe a rich uncle died.
No matter. It's a joke with no punch line.
Next.
