There is sopmething very fishy here. How can you end up with 2H+???
Won't the hydrogen ion steal an electron from the silver and produce
Ag+?
2Ag(+) + H2O2 --> 2Ag + O2(g) + 2H(+)
2Ag + 2H(+) --> 2Ag(+) + H2(g)
and the process should continue to evolve hydrogen gas until all the
water was gone. Clearly this does not happen, so the equations are
very fishy.
On the other hand, you could also have the following equation:
2Ag(+) + H2O2 --> 2Ag(+) + H2O2
In other words, H2O2 has no effect on silver ions.
BTW, Marshall, have you posted any charge-balanced equations to
support your hypothesis that H2O2 turns Ag+ to AgO or Ag2O? If so,
can you explain the experiment I just proposed that Ken runs?
