> Isn't silver hydroxide white? > Ode You might be thinking of silver chloride, AgCl, which is white but turns black when exposed to light. The oxide that collects on the electrodes is black, but it can appear brown when diluted in dw. You can barely make out the color in these photos of misting: http://www.utopiasilver.com/images/gen3.jpg and http://www.silverpuppy.com/resource/ionpud1.jpg Silver hydroxide (AgOH) decomposes around 100C, and silver oxide (Ag2O) decomposes around 310C. I hope put some on a hot plate today or tomorrow and will report the results. I'm pretty sure it will turn out to be silver hydroxide, since it decomposes easily under the pressure of wiping and forms shiny elemental silver. Everyone has seen this in their 3 nines unit.
