Hi group, as a remedy, I am preparing colloidal silver water. I have two thin silver sticks used as electrodes, In two liters of water I dip the electrodes then a 12V, 1A current is conected. The silver disolved in the water and then could be used to clean skin wounds.

How I could calculate de silver PPM in the water, there is an equation?, I know the current, the volume of water, and the surface of the silver stick.

any help is welcome!

Silver nitrate is usually used to make silver solutions. Silver chroride has very low solubility so if there are any chlorides in your water it will pricipitate the silver.
