A salt is a result of combining a metal with acid. Salt is a generic term, not necessarily meaning sodium chloride which is "table salt". The following salts will not precipitate silver chloride but will provide a companion anion: silver nitrate, silver acetate, silver citrate. A drop of acid will provide a companion anion, i.e. citric acid or acetic acid. frank key > > > > > If salts are added to the water to provide a companion anion, then higher > > concentrations of ionic silver may be produced which could potentially > > increase the risk of argyria. > > > > > > frank key > > > > > > -- > The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver. > > Instructions for unsubscribing may be found at: http://silverlist.org > > To post, address your message to: [email protected] > > Silver-list archive: http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/index.html > > List maintainer: Mike Devour <[email protected]> >
