What is the greatest metal density?
Gold has the highest density of the metals listed.
(truefalse) The dense substance in the world is mercury?
FALSE. There are probably 15 elements more dense than mercury. A few examples would be Osmium, Platinum, and Gold, just to name a few.
What is the density of an unknown substance that has a mass of 100 g and a volume of 5 ml?
The density is 100/5 = 20 g/ml .That is some unusual and wonderful stuff you have there.The two most dense elements are-- osmium . . . 22.59-- iridium . . . . 22.56Also, the density of gold is 19.3 .
What method can be used to determine if gold earrings are real?
To tell if gold is real or fake, measure its density. The density of gold, 19.3 grams / cm3, is much higher than most other metals. Even lead has a density of only 11.4 g/cm3 -- platinum, iridium, osmium, and neptunium are the only metals that have a density over 20 g/cm3! (For comparison the density of water is only 1 g/cm3).
Why does iron float in a pool of mercury while gold sinks?
It is function of the density of the three metals. The density of iron is less than that of mercury, but the density of gold is greater. Density of iron: 7.86 g/cm3 Density of mercury: 13.53 g/cm3 Density of gold: 19.3 g/cm3 Anything more dense than a liquid will sink in that liquid, and anything less dense will float. For comparison, the density of water is only 1 g/cm3, so all three would sink in a pool of water. Styrofoam for instance is less dense than water and so it floats in water.
What is the greatest metal density?
Gold has the highest density of the metals listed.
Which element has the greatest density?
Osmium has. Gold and iridium are up there too. Lead isn't even close.
Which element On the periodic table has the greatest density?
Heavy metals such as lead, gold, tungsten or platinum. Uranium is very dense, but an element and metal called osmium is the most dense.
What metals are dense?
Gold, platinum. Tin and lead are also quite dense. Osmium is the most dense on the periodic table.
Can gold float on mercury?
Gold is a higher density than Mercury so it will sink if placed into a container of mercury.
A substance with a high density?
Metals would have a high density, but isn't water dense also?
(truefalse) The dense substance in the world is mercury?
FALSE. There are probably 15 elements more dense than mercury. A few examples would be Osmium, Platinum, and Gold, just to name a few.
What about other precius metals accept gold?
there are several other precious metal other than gold as silver ,platinum,mercury,copperand osmium . Gold are in same periodic group of silver and copper
Which material has the highest density?
Osmium is the most dense naturally occurring substance on Earth. It is about twice as dense as lead. . See the related link below for Osmium. . Although technically not a solid, theoretically the densest material in the universe is matter found at the center of a black hole.
What two metals are more dense than mercury?
Osmium and gold are more dense than mercury.See the Related Questions for a complete list of the most dense elements (many of which are more dense than mercury).
Will a block of ice sink in mercury metal?
No, the density of water ice (0.92) is far below that of mercury (13.6) and so the ice will float on liquid mercury. Even iron density 7.85) and copper (8.73) and lead (11.3) will float on mercury but gold (density 19.6) sinks!
What does the specific gravity of gold is 19.3 mean?
The specific gravity of gold is 19.3, it means the density of gold to density of water results 19.3...which gives the idea about how heavy the gold is , in respect to water.
