Hello everyone, I am about to put my first silver cell into operation and have a few questions on the electrolyte. I have searched for these answers, but the information I find is either very conflicting with other information I find, or very scientific speak and hard to understand and follow. Hoping the group can help. Thanks in advance.
Question #1 / How do I know the amount of impure silver that I can run through a cell before the nitrate solution is used up or becomes too contaminated with copper?
Question #1.5 / How do I know at what point the cell has become too contaminated, and the nitrate solution needs to be changed?
Question#2 / Assuming my silver nitrate solution is 90% pure and 10% impure, What should I be using as a ratio on this silver nitrate solution per liter of distilled water?
Again, thanks in advance for any help.
