The effect of variations in pH, salinity, sulfide and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations on the speciation of dissolved Ag were calculated using the MINTEQ geochemical model. Molecular-weight-averaged conditional equilibrium constants for natural Ag-organic complexes were estimated from the equilibrium constants for specific metal-organic complexes and the concentration of the organic compounds, reported to be present in seawater, summed by principal functional group. These calculations show that the major Ag complexes in seawater are AgHS/sup 0/, for S(-II) concentrations above 0.01 ..mu..g L/sup -1/, AgCl/sup 0/, AgCl/sub 2//sup -/, AgCl/sub 3//sup -/ and AgCl/sub 4//sup 0/. If the AgCl/sup 0/ complex is the primary bioavailable or toxic chemical species as has been reported, the toxicity of silver will decrease significantly with increased S(-II) concentration, pH, and with decreased salinity. Organically complexed silver was calculated to represent <1% of the total dissolved Ag, which suggests that changes in Ag speciation previously attributed to DOC complexation may actually be due to formation of S(-II) or sulfhydral complexes. 42 references, 6 figures, 5 tables.
