If you put citric acid in your distilled water when doing the electrolysis, it will produce silver citrate. It appears that chlorine compounds do not combine with the citrate form. Apparently the citrate has Ag3+, a complex, but silver chloride had Ag+, so once it is formed, they do not interact even though both can disassociate in water to some extent. Excess citric acid increases the solubility of silver citrate significantly, otherwise you limit of solubility is around 250 ppm. Marshall
