the Ag+ and clo2

Hello, I want know the Ag+ and ClO2 can react to form compounds ?

Yes. clo2 oxidizes ALL metals to soluble salts thus neutralising both.

I want to know what will be generated,,Agcl or Ago?
I mixed them and did not see any precipitation

My friend has a very good treatment effect with Ag+. (not Ag)
It would be great if it can not conflict with clo2

neither it seems;

Oxidation half-reaction:

Balance the main atom (Cl).

It's already balanced in this reaction.

ClO2^- ---> CIO4^-

In an acid solution:

First, balance O by adding H2O.

ClO2^- + 2H2O ---> CIO4^-

Second, balance H by adding H+.

ClO2^- + 2H2O ---> CIO4^- + 4H^+

Now, add e- to the more positive side of the

equation, to balance charge on each side.

ClO2^- + 2H2O ---> CIO4^- + 4H^+ + 4e^-

Reduction half-reaction:

Balance the main atom (Ag).

It's already balanced in this reaction.

Ag^+ ---> Ag

Now, add e- to the more positive side of the

equation, to balance charge on each side.

Ag^+ + 1e^- ---> Ag

---

To make the number of e- gained and lost equal,

multiply the first equation by 1 and the second by 4.

1 x (ClO2^- + 2H2O ---> CIO4^- + 4H^+ + 4e^-)

4 x (Ag^+ + 1e^- ---> Ag)

==>

ClO2^- + 2H2O ---> CIO4^- + 4H^+ + 4e^-

4Ag^+ + 4e^- ---> 4Ag

---

Finally, add the two half reactions together,

simplifying the number of H2O and H+.

...4Ag^+ + 4e^- ---> 4Ag

+ ClO2^- + 2H2O ---> CIO4^- + 4H^+ + 4e^-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

4Ag^+ + ClO2^- + 2H2O ---> 4Ag + CIO4^- + 4H^+
the result is solid silver , perchlorate and hydrogen gas, none of which have a charge for destroying pathogens. Probably best to choose one protocol or the other but don't mix.

It's so complicated. Thank you very much
