Gold is much more dearer these days because there is less of it then aluminum. Also aluminum is a renewable source that can be used infinite amount of times. Aluminium is used more in daily life and gold is used for flourishing fashion accessories.But if we actually counted the amount of times aluminum is used then it would be most expensive.

What is the difference between aluminum foil and gold foil?

Gold foil is a very thin sheet of gold used for art and craft projects. It is so thin that it breaks if you handle it too roughly. Aluminum foil is made to seal or cover items and is thick and bendable.


Why does a kilogram of aluminum have more volume than a kilogram of gold?

Aluminum has a lower density than gold, meaning the same mass of aluminum takes up more space compared to gold. Therefore, a kilogram of aluminum will occupy more volume than a kilogram of gold due to the difference in their densities.


Why is aluminum cheap now days?

people are often under the misconception that aluminum is not very abundant because when compared to some other widely used metals it is expensive. aluminum is in fact the most abundant metal found on earth however does not exist free in nature. all aluminum isotopes have bonded with other elements and here in lies the cost. the production of aluminum is expensive because the process to extract and purify it is considerably higher than other metals. to answer your question the cost has gone down due to advancements in metallurgy and technology that have driven the cost of production down. it's still not cheap relatively speaking especially when you start dealing with higher grades like those used in aircraft.


Is white gold as expensive as yellow gold?

White gold is an alloy of gold and at least one white metal, usually nickel or palladium. Like yellow gold, the purity of white gold is given in carats: 24 kt is pure gold, 18 kt has 18 parts gold and 6 parts of another metal, so it is 75% pure.Since nickel is cheaper than gold this white (alloy) gold is cheaper than the yellow pure variant. The price of palladium is unknown to me, so I can't figure it out.


Is white gold more expensive than normal gold?

White gold is typically more expensive than yellow gold because it is mixed with other metals such as palladium or nickel to give it a white color. The added metals used in white gold can increase its overall cost compared to traditional yellow gold.

Why did Napoleon 3 use aluminum dinnerware?

Aluminum used to be more expensive than gold. In Napoleon's time the chemists hadn't discovered a good way to purify aluminum so pure aluminum was expensive and rare. Aluminum used to be a status symbol because it was more expensive and rarer than gold.


Why was aluminum more expensive than gold in 1886?

Aluminum does not occur in nature as a solid metal. It is produced by man in several processes which require lots of energy. These processes were not invented until the 1880's. So, until then, aluminum was scarcer than gold and therefore more expensive.


Gold is metal so is aluminum why is gold so expensive and aluminum so cheap?

Gold is much rarer (i.e. there is less of it and what there is is harder to find) than aluminum. There is also demand for gold due to special properties that it has that aluminum doesn't that increases the price. Gold is a much more attractive metal than aluminum. Gold does not corrode, while aluminum almost instantly corrodes on contact with air or water producing a hard transparent insulating coating on its surface.

Why is gold found as gold metal but aluminium is found as aluminium oxide?

Gold is a very unreactive element, so it occurs as gold metal in nature. However, aluminum is more reactive, and so it occurs in aluminum ore (aluminum oxide) in nature, not as aluminum metal.

Why can't we use aluminum for melting gold?

Aluminum has a lower melting point than gold, so it would melt before the gold does. This would make it difficult to separate the two metals based on their melting points. Additionally, aluminum can form alloys with gold, which can affect the purity of the final product.

What is the value of ten carrots of gold?

"Cheap" is a relative term. 10K gold is cheaper than, say, 14K gold, but more expensive than silver. 10K gold is known for being very durable - it's harder than 14K or 18K gold, so it doesn't ding and dent as easily - and could be better for your needs because of this. But I wouldn't generally say that ANY gold is "cheap", regardless of its purity.
