What else can I help you with?
Is silver heavier than lead?
Yes, by about 8.2%. (rounded)
What rock would contain lead and silver?
Galena is a common mineral that contains lead and is often found alongside silver ores such as argentite. These minerals are typically found in hydrothermal veins and are important sources of lead and silver production.
What would you tell an engineer who has suggested a design for a new battery using silver for both electrodes?
There must be a difference between the electrodes. If both are silver metal the voltage will be zero. I don't know if it works with silver like it does with lead, but oxidizing the metal of one electrode might make a workable battery (a silver/silver oxide battery like the lead/lead oxide of the lead acid battery).
What substance is attracted to a magnet silver lead water or iron?
Iron is the substance attracted to a magnet. Unlike silver, lead, and water, iron is a ferromagnetic material, meaning it can be magnetized and attracted to magnets. Silver and lead are not magnetic, and water is a non-magnetic liquid.
What is the least reactive out of zinc silver iron and lead?
Among zinc, silver, iron, and lead, silver is the least reactive metal. It does not readily react with oxygen or moisture and is less prone to corrosion compared to the others. Zinc and iron are more reactive, often oxidizing more quickly, while lead has moderate reactivity but still does not match silver's stability.
Is zirconium a silver or lead?
Zirconium is an element - as are silver and lead. Therefore, zirconium is not silver nor lead and, conversely, silver is not zirconium, lead is not zirconium.
Can Silver be alloyed with lead?
Yes, silver can be alloyed with lead to create a silver-lead alloy. The resulting alloy can have different properties and characteristics depending on the ratio of silver to lead used in the alloy. Lead is often added to silver to increase its hardness and improve its machinability.
Will lead replace silver in a reaction?
Lead is less reactive than silver on the reactivity series, so lead will not replace silver in a single displacement reaction. Silver will stay as it is in the reaction.
How do you clean salt from silver I have individual lead crystal salt shakers that have silver tops that are corroded?
To clean salt and corrosion from silver, create a paste with baking soda and water, gently scrub the affected areas, and then rinse off with warm water. You can also use a silver polish specifically designed for removing tarnish. Make sure to dry the silver thoroughly after cleaning to prevent further corrosion.
Is silver heavier than lead?
Yes, by about 8.2%. (rounded)
What has greater density silver or lead?
Lead has a greater density than silver. Lead has a density of 11.34 g/cm3, while silver has a density of 10.49 g/cm3.
What is the precipitate formed from Silver Nitrate and Lead Nitrate?
Silver nitrate and lead nitrate do not react, so there would be no precipitate.
Does 925 silver have lead in it?
925 is the designation of Sterling Silver which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% some other metal to give it strength, usually copper. Lead is not normally used in Sterling Silver, there would be no point because lead is equally soft.
How do you separate lead from silver?
To separate lead from silver, you can use a process called cupellation. This involves melting the mixture in a furnace and adding a substance like bone ash that will absorb the lead and leave behind the silver. The lead can then be skimmed off the top, leaving the silver behind.
Why is zinc used in desilverisation of lead?
Zinc is used in the desilverization of lead because zinc has a higher affinity for silver than lead does. When zinc is added to molten lead containing silver, zinc combines with silver to form a zinc-silver alloy, which then floats to the surface for easy removal, leaving behind lead that is desilverized.
how to clean silver?
To clean silver, mix a small amount of mild dish soap with warm water and gently wash the silver items using a soft cloth. For tougher tarnish, create a paste using baking soda and water, apply it to the silver, and rub gently with a cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a clean cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the silver.
