No. hydrogen will eliminate only copper, or gold in the oxidized state, and when

dissolved. On 2nd thought, yes. Bring copper and gold into the oxidized, dissolved states, using aquq regia, a solution of 3 parts HCl with 1 part HNO3. Replace spare HNO3 with HCl, using 3 circles of HCl addition and vaporizing.

Bubbling hydrogen at this point will free gold and leave copper dissolved

What removes copper from gold?

One common method to remove copper from gold is through a process called cupellation, where the gold-copper alloy is heated in a furnace with lead, which combines with the copper to form a separate layer called "dore." Another method is through electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through the gold-copper alloy in a solution to separate the copper ions from the gold.


What metals cannot displace hydrogen gas from a dilute acid?

all those metals which are present below Hydrogen in the reactivity series like Ag , Cu , Au , Pt ,etc. ^^ He is incorrect. All metals, one or another, will react with some acids to produce Hydrogen Gas. -He mentioned Copper and Silver. Silver and Copper will react with Nitric Acid giving off Hydrogen and NitroDioxide Gas. He mentioned Gold and Platinum. Gold and Platinum will react with Aqua Regia (A mixture of Hydrogen Chloride and Nitric Acid) giving off Nitric Oxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, and Hydrogen gas. All metals will react with FluoroAntimonic Acid, Xenic Acid, or any other super acid to give off hydrogen gas and other gases as well.


What metals are not silver gray in color?

Some metals that are not silver gray in color include gold (yellow), copper (orange-red), brass (yellow-brown), and bronze (reddish-brown).


Does Hydrogen Sulfide react with Copper?

Yes, hydrogen sulfide can react with copper to form copper sulfide. When hydrogen sulfide comes into contact with copper, a chemical reaction occurs where the copper atoms combine with the sulfur atoms from hydrogen sulfide to create copper sulfide, a black solid compound.


What is the word equation for gold reacts with water?

Gold can be dissolved only by a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids.

Can anyone explain the science behind copper into gold or show a website that tells the explanation?

Copper into gold, means putting copper powder in gold salt solution. Because copper is closer to hydrogen then gold, in the electromotive scale, it will dissolve, freeing the gold


What was the elements?

Copper. More probably Gold, it doesn't corrode. If your asking cosmological not technological, it is definitely Hydrogen.

Is copper oxide hydrogen?

No. Copper oxide is just copper and oxygen. It is generally green in color and is often seen as weathering or corrosion on copper. Hydrogen is an element and is not part of copper oxide.


What is mixture elements?

Your question is not clear: probable you think to alloys (gold-copper), mixtures of gases (hydrogen-nitrogen) etc.

What is the colour change when copper oxide is added to hydrogen?

When copper oxide is added to hydrogen, a redox reaction occurs. The color change observed is from black copper oxide to reddish-brown copper metal, indicating the reduction of copper oxide to copper metal by hydrogen gas.
