" .... citric acid and citrate ions do not fall into that class of
things, I think.
The only risk would be producing silver ions in a citrate solution to a
very high concentration of silver, which is possible, since the citrate
ions electrically balance the silver ions, keeping them from forming
neutral silver particles. "
John,
That is not what I have found. When I make experimental CS in citric
acid (of varying strengths) I produce a very strong TE and no increase
in the uS. (a uS decrease is more often the outcome.)
If I am not mistaken this indicates that the ions ARE forming
particles/compounds. They are NOT remaining in solution as ions. We
would see an increase in the uS (i.e. the conductivity) if that was the
case.
But I could be wrong. I'm not a chemist.
