How do you know if your rings are real gold or silver?

(This applies to silver, I'm not sure about gold.) If you are wearing a fake silver ring, after wearing it for about half an hour you will see that your finger where the ring has been has gone a bit green. It will eventually go back to it's original colour though. Also if you go to any shop which sells real gold and silver they should be able to tell you if it is real or not.


What is acid shock and how does it work?

Acid shock is a sudden decrease in the pH of a system, often caused by adding an acidic substance. This can disrupt biological processes and harm organisms in the environment. The acidity interferes with normal cellular functions, potentially leading to cell death or reduced growth.

How is the completeness of separation of the benzoic acid crystals from sodium chloride known with the addition of AgNO3 solution?

Silver Nitrate solution produces a white precipitate in the presence of chloride ion. The equation is AgNO3 + Cl- ----> AgCl(s) . So if benzoic acid is completely free of sodium chloride there will be no white precipitate. You can go a stage further by weighing an aliquot of benzoic acid crystals and titrating with a known strength silver nitrate solution. By calculation you can then find just exactly how much sodium chloride is left contaminating the benzoic acid.


How is silver refined?

A: Silver refining is basically the recovery or recycling of silver from items that contain this precious metal. Items that are refined for their silver content include:JewelrySterling silver flatwareSilver serving setsSilver coinsX-Ray filmsPhotographic film & paperSilver from photo processing solutionsMirror over-sprayThe refining process will vary depending on the items you are refining. Silver bars, silver coins, silver jewelry and sterling silver flatware and serving sets are tested to determine the amount of silver in items then placed in an acid base for the silver to separate from the other metal alloys. An electric charger is placed with the item and acid solution which collects pure silver flakes.For industrial and manufacturing items such as silver flake from photo film, silver from x-ray film and scrap silver sludge are recovered. The process is more involved where the refiner first has to burn the film and then put the ashes into the acid base.On the Web you may find methods for home silver refining, I would not recommend this without having an experienced refiner handy. Because you are working with acid, there is a risk in the home, especially if you are trying to collect ash which requires very high heat conducted in a furnace.Individuals, industries, hospitals and other organizations look to sell these items for a cash payout. Though there are tons of middleman organizations out there, wanting to buy your gold and silver, the items usually always end up in the hands of a refiner, who actually melts and extracts the silver. If you have some of these items I would look to work directly with a refiner. I recommend Arch Enterprises precious metal refiner located in Missouri. They will give you more money than a middleman and extra information about the refining process. If you go to their website www.archenterprises.com they can give you a free quote so you have an idea of how much you can receive. Hope this helps!

How can I check IC good or not?

This depends on the IC. Visual inspection will only go so far. You will need to test it and compare the testing to the datasheet; if it is not testing as specified in the datasheet, then it is bad. Sorry, there's no one easy answer for all IC's.
