Hi Kathryn, Are you referring to the process as it (ionic silver solution) is made electrically, or in general? Ionic silver is soluble in water, fairly slightly, like 20 ppm or more or less, depending. It's not a compound that dissolves ionically like salt. But that brings up the other side of the thing; some substances dissolve in water non-ionically; would the addition of sugar or ether, or ??? result in precipitation of the "ionic" silver out of solution or perhaps as hydroxide, or some strange organic silver salt?? Does a form of silver exist as ionic other than as it is formed in water?
