Hi,

I am not really used to Wiki, but i want mention, that AgCl is also really important for reference electrodes. I thik it must be mentioned !!! And thus also the conductivety could be interesting.

[edit] electrodes

apparently a silver chloride gel is used for bioelectric electrodes. presumably because silver doesn't create a galvanic cell with skin electrolytes? - Omegatron 01:49, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] resource for analysts/chemists

I'd like to see some discussion of getting silver chloride into soluble, analyzable forms. When I was investigating and developing flame atomic absorption methods, the not-well-known knowledge that AgCl dissolves rather readily in concentrated HCl would have saved me a bunch of time. As it was I went to sites on jewelsmithery to learn this and confirmed it analytically. If wikipedia had had it, it would have been a lot nicer. Let's make this a true resource for chemists and analysts! Thanks, Nick Lockard 21:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

I'm moving the old infobox here as I am replacing it with a new chembox.
