Hi Zeev Hed; My kynar silver-plated wire wrap wires stayed clean and fresh if I kept them in their sealed plastic containters. But if you left them open, they tarnished in a couple months. Certainly those 1-inch diameter plastic tubes had plenty of oxygen. My conclusion is that LA's sulphorous air tarnished my wires, not the oxygen. So I agree. Silver does not oxidize at normal temperatures pressures, etc, appreciably. Maybe there is some catalyst that can cause Ag to oxidize quickly, just as iron rusts in the presence of moisture. The basic question can be solved by anyone who kept their chemistry book from college. Anybody remember anything about entropy and enthalpy? Anything to talk about other than the market.... Oh.... Am I off topic? ************************* Market Factoid Chickens used to be more expensive than just about any other meat. (Apologies to TLC.) This was the orgin of the phrase "Chicken in every pot." Now from the postings we have got from the famous 12 footer(s) recently, we should rewrite this to be: "Pot in every chicken." Anyway, when chicken raising ceased to be a hobby and became a business, the price of chicken meat dropped drastically. End Factoid ********************** -- Carl
