What is the reaction if you add mercury to the gold?

You waste your money.


Calculating Mercury in Mercury oxide by gravimetric analysis?

First take the mercury oxide and heat it so that it decomposes completely. This will drive off the oxygen gas and leave you with elemental mercury. Record the exact mass of the mercury that you have left at the end of the reaction. Divide this mass of mercury by the original mass of your mercury oxide sample and multiply by 100. This will be the percent mercury by mass in your original sample.


Can you get the gold from pour mercury?

Mercury and gold are two different elements. There is no mercury in gold and there is no gold in mercury. If there is some gold mixed in with the mercury to begin with, then there are ways to separate it out. If there is no gold in the mercury to begin with, then there's no way to get any gold out of it.

Is there an atom with an atomic mass of 200?

Yes. There's even a stable atom with an atomic mass of 200 (well, not QUITE 200): Mercury has a stable isotope with a mass of 199.9683. Several other elements (platinum, gold, lead, etc.) have isotopes with atomic mass near 200, but they're all radioactive.


What is Mercury into gold?

No. One can not transform one element into another. However Mercury may be used to extract gold from gold containing sand. The gold will dissolve in the mercury which can then be boiled away to leave the gold. This will APPEAR to make mercury change into gold but this is not the case, you have to put the gold into the mercury first.PLEASE NOTE - Mercury is VERY VERY toxic/poisonous and using it to extract gold this way is dangerous to the environment and harmful to the people doing it (especially the boiling away mercury phase) - do not refine gold this way, use a mechanical separation process.
