The reaction follows a zero-order kinetics in [citric acid] as well as in [silver(I)] in the absence and presence of PVA.

Both spectrophotometric and TEM measurement demonstrated that the orange silver sol consists of aggregates, whereas the purple sol does not contain the aggregated arrangement. On the basis of various observations, the most plausible mechanism has been envisaged.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</mods:note>
