Silver is harder than lead, and it is less dense than lead.

Lead is extremely soft - you can scratch it with a fingernail. And it is dense.

What would you tell engineer who has suggested a design for a new battery using silver for both electrodes?

There must be a difference between the electrodes. If both are silver metal the voltage will be zero. I don't know if it works with silver like it does with lead, but oxidizing the metal of one electrode might make a workable battery (a silver/silver oxide battery like the lead/lead oxide of the lead acid battery).

How you clean the silver in lead?

Lead is a pure element - there is no silver in it.


Can you tell me more about the properties and uses of silver lead"?

Silver lead is a metallic compound that is commonly used in soldering and as a component in certain types of batteries. It has a high melting point and is known for its malleability and conductivity. Silver lead is often used in electronics and plumbing applications due to its ability to create strong and durable connections.


Can Silver be alloyed with lead?

Yes, silver can be alloyed with lead to create a silver-lead alloy. The resulting alloy can have different properties and characteristics depending on the ratio of silver to lead used in the alloy. Lead is often added to silver to increase its hardness and improve its machinability.


Will lead replace silver in a reaction?

Lead is less reactive than silver on the reactivity series, so lead will not replace silver in a single displacement reaction. Silver will stay as it is in the reaction.


How can you tell if my 1795 silver dollar is real?

you can tell it's real by the silver. If its real silver it is real. Get it?? I hope that helped you.


Is silver heavier than lead?

What has greater density silver or lead?

Lead has a greater density than silver. Lead has a density of 11.34 g/cm3, while silver has a density of 10.49 g/cm3.


What is the precipitate formed from Silver Nitrate and Lead Nitrate?

Silver nitrate and lead nitrate do not react, so there would be no precipitate.


Does 925 silver have lead in it?

925 is the designation of Sterling Silver which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% some other metal to give it strength, usually copper. Lead is not normally used in Sterling Silver, there would be no point because lead is equally soft.
