Sam, Silver citrate has a low solubility in water, 0 .0284 grams/liter, but a high solubility in a citric acid solution. That is why you need a lot of citric acid in the solution to make a high ppm product.
Silver acetate has a high solubility in water, 11.11 grams/liter. So you need only worry about having enough acetic acid in solution to support the ppm of silver acetate you want to make. Just an FYI if you are a smoker, silver acetate produces an unpleasant metallic taste when combined with cigarettes, so it used as a form of aversion therapy for smoking. Best of luck in Brazil. - Steve N From: Sam L.

For citric acid (CS) a 5 % solution is being used. I can control the mA and use Faraday calc to determine the ppm. I am in Brazil right now and Distilled water is hard to come by and would like to make some high ppm CS in case of emergency. I would be able to dilute it down using the mineral water here. The city water is pretty bad and we have had little rain here for some unknown reason. The streets are dusty and I live in a tropical region. If I can I would like to make 400 ppm CS and dilute it 10 to1 or 20 to 1. TIA Sam L. -- A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.
