When using too much current, electrode ends close to the bottom, no stirring and lit from the bottom.. I have seen white particles at one electrode appearing to strean towards the other electrode, golden particles at the other appearing to go the other way and nothing in between.
Under one electrode a white dusty looking deposit forms that fairly hard to remove. That electrode develops a white coating that can go to a tan color if the process goes long enough. [Presumably silver hydroxide and/or silver trapped on hydrogen bubbles] The other electrode accumulates a black deposit with a black spot underneath. [Presumably silver oxides] In between the spots will be metallic silver plateout like a mirror if you let it go for a long time. The mirror is virtually impossible to remove. While perusing chemical experiment sites etc, I have run across statements such as "silver hydroxide is more soluable than silver hydroxide" Many things get mis stated on websites and even in scientific papers. One reference to silver hydroxide being black begs confirmation from elsewhere. They may have 'meant' to say silver oxide. Ode -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
