Changing the temperature of something does not change its weight.
My guess is that anything liquid vs. anything solid always has more energy because it has more heat. The atoms in liquid gold have more energy so they bounce around more and spread apart, making it flow more, and expand. Solid gold has less energy so atoms are more still and come closer together making it solid.
Archimedes used water displacement to determine the volume of the crown and compared it to the volume of pure gold of the same weight. If the crown's volume was greater, meaning it had been alloyed with a less dense metal, then the king's crown was not made of solid gold.
Answer is C. An increase in motion and less attraction between particles
An increase in motion and less attraction between particles
It depends on the type of pound you are referring to. Gold and other precious metals are weighed in Troy Ounces. A Troy pound of gold contains 12 Troy ounces of gold. A Troy Ounce is about 1.1 normal ounces. A pound of gold in the standard measuring system (avoirdupois) will weigh about 13.2 ounces. So, an ounce of gold (troy) weighs more than an ounce of feathers (avoirdupois). But a pound of gold (troy) weighs less than a pound of feathers (avoirdupois).
No, when gold is melted it does not weigh less. Its mass remains the same, but its volume may change depending on its state (solid or liquid).
Melted gold weighs the same as solid gold of the same mass, as weight is dependent on the amount of material present. However, when gold is melted, its volume decreases due to the loss of air pockets and impurities, leading to a higher density and smaller volume.
No, solid gold will sink in melted gold because the melted gold has a higher density compared to solid gold. Density is the measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, with denser objects sinking in less dense substances.
The weight of a jar of ice will remain the same whether it is in solid or liquid form. When ice melts, it simply changes from a solid to a liquid, but the total weight of the jar and its contents remains constant.
Solid butter or margarine might have air in it, so the amount you get into a cup is somewhat less than when you melt it and it compresses. This means you have more in a cup and it will weigh more. Always check if a recipe calls for butter or margarine to be melted before you measure it or you may have the wrong amount.
Less weight, imagine how much that would weigh if it was solid.
The answer to your question is in the question. Gold leaf is a very thin sheet of gold that is used to rub gold on a object. Solid gold is one piece of gold that is solid all the way through and can be made into gold objects. There is very little gold in gold leaf, but solid gold is all gold making it worth a great deal more since gold is sold by the ounce.
14 KT Gold Electroplate, not solid gold thus less value and less cost
Gold purity in jewelry is represented by how much -- on a scale of 24K being pure gold -- of the metal is gold. A 10K gold 'batch' will always be a 10K gold batch -- only 10/24ths of the batch is gold, whether solid or melted. And the same is true of a 14K gold 'batch'. In order to 'upgrade' 10K yellow gold metal to 14K yellow gold metal, the 10K metal must be melted, separated from whatever other metal is in the 'batch', then added to less other metal in order for the same gold to be 'upgraded' to 14K. Another option is to replace the 10K setting with a 14K setting.
They both weigh and cost less.
1 kilo of liquid gold has more volume than 1 kilo of solid gold because liquid gold is less dense than solid gold. Liquid gold takes up more space due to its ability to flow and fill the container it is in, while solid gold is denser and compacted.
H.G.E. stands for Heavy Gold Electroplate, so it's not solid gold but gold plate on some base metal. Gold plate has the look of real gold without the cost of solid gold, so is commensurately less valuable.
