Which would displace more water ounce of silver and ounce of gold?

The metal with the lower density occupies more volume, so it would displace more water. Density of silver = 10.49 g/cm-3 , density of gold = 19.3 g/cm-3, Silver's displacement is greater.


How do you react silver nitrate and iron?

Silver is slightly more reactive than gold, although they are both very unreactive. Assuming that the gold nitrate exists, because it would be very rare, silver would react with it and displace it. The products formed will be silver nitrate and gold.


How do you separate gold from copper fillings?

React the mixture with H2SO4 because copper is more reactive and a mettalic oxide so it would displace H2 from H2SO4 which would escape out in form of gas and CuSO4 would form . Then mix the mixture with water of CuSO4 and gold formed above . CuSO4 would get mix with water and filter out gold with filtration which is insoluble in water.


What is the story behind Archimedes principle?

The Story Behind the ScienceHieron, the king of Syracuse and Archimedes' friend, wanted to know whether his crown was made of solid gold. The king suspected that the gold had been mixed with silver, which is worth less than gold. So he asked Archimedes to try to resolve the question. The solution would have been easy if the king had allowed the crown to be melted down. Since that was no possible, Archimedes had to find another solution to determine the metal content of the crown. Archimedes discovered the answer while at a public bath. He noticed that when he got into the water, it overflowed the tub. By measuring the overflow, he found that the volume-the amount of space a thing occupies-of the spilled water was equal to the volume of his body under water. He realized he could determine the gold content of the crown by measuring the water it would displace against the amount of water displaced by a lump of gold weighing the same as the crown. The crown and lump of gold would each displace the same amount of water if the crown were solid gold. If the crown contained silver, it would displace more water, since the volume of a weight of silver is greater than the volume of the same weight of gold. With this discovery, Archimedes leaped from his bath and in his excitement raced naked down the street toward his home, shouting "EUREKA! I have found it!"Archimedes was the first to develop the physical law that is now known as Archimedes' law. The law explains buoyancy, or why objects seem to lose weight in water or other liquids. This principle has been applied ever since to test precious metals.


Can silver displace zinc from its salt solution?

If the zinc salt is soluble and the analogous silver salt is not, silver will displace the zinc as the silver salt precipitates out. For example, zinc chloride is soluble, but the solubility of silver chloride is very low. If silver nitrate is added to a zinc chloride solution, silver chloride will precipitate out, leaving zinc nitrate in solution.


How many grams of rubidium must react to displace 14.4 g of gold from a solution of gold nitrate?

Rubidium I would not recommend, however 85.47 g will displace 197/3 = 65.67g gold ?= (14.4/65.67)x85.47


Does a cubic ft of gold displace the same amount of water if it is floating as it does when it sits on the bottom of the container?

yes it will


What discovery helped displace the Cherokee?

the discovery was gold


Which is worth more gold or silver?

If both gold and silver are same size gold would be .


Gold is a precious metal with a density of 19.3 grams per ml. If a piece of gold weighs 100 grams what volume in ml should this gold displace in water?

Volume = Mass / Density, so 100 grams of gold divided by 19.3 g/mL gives a volume of 5.18 mL or 5.18 cubic centimeters. 5.18 mL of gold will displace 5.18 mL of water.


What happen if gold is dipped in water?

A physicist's answer. Archimedes principle: It would displace either it's volume of Mercury (if the specific gravity (SG) of mercury is less than that of gold...which I think it is and there were enough mercury for the gold to completely submerge the gold, i.e it sinks to the bottom) OR it would displace it's weight of mercury (assuming the SG of mercury is greater than that of gold...which I doubt, again assuming sufficient mercury in the container, i.e. it floats). Also, amalgamation of the gold and mercury will take place over time. I'm not sure what voltaic phenomenon might occur.


What type of gold is 9ct gold plated sterling silver Is it real gold or real silver?

A nine carrot gold plated sterling silver is both gold and silver. This would be more sliver than gold.
