Gold will dissolve in water if certain salts are already in solution (there is more gold dissolved in the waters of the oceans than has been mined on land), cyanide heap pile leaching gold ore concentrating works this way. Large piles of crushed gold ore are placed on a giant plastic sheet (to catch the concentrated gold and keep the cyanide out of the environment), drip lines on the top of the pile supply a continuous flow of potassium cyanide in water solution while a sump system at the bottom catches the spent solution for reuse, the cyanide solution readily dissolves gold from the top of the pile and releases it near the bottom where the solution pools and the concentration of gold gets too high to remain in solution, after a few decades the cyanide circulation system is turned off and the heap excavated, top layers are hazardous waste, bottom layer is sent to gold smelter.

What helps a solid dissolve faster in water?
Oh, dude, it's like watching paint dry, but in water. So, technically, crushing the solid into smaller particles increases its surface area, allowing more contact with the water and speeding up the dissolution process. But hey, if you've got all day to watch a solid dissolve, go ahead and just toss it in whole.
Will Viagra dissolve in the washing machine?
Viagra is a solid pill and is not likely to dissolve in a washing machine. It may lose its effectiveness if exposed to water, but it should not pose any harm to the washing machine itself. It is always recommended to keep medications in a dry and cool place to maintain their potency.
What solid can be in a liquid?
Any solid can be placed in a liquid. If the solid is less dense then it will float. If it is not soluble and its melting temperature is higher than the temperature of the liquid it will remain solid and not become part of a mixture. any solid can be converted into liquid except those which becomes sublimed.

At what height does water become concrete?
Water does not become concrete at any height. Concrete is a solid material made from a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates like sand and gravel.
What solids will not dissolve in water?
nothing . Water can, with due time, erode any solid object.
Will 28g of any solid will dissolve in 100cm3 of water?
Not all the solids will dissolve in water. Different solids have different solubilities (some will dissolve more than others). The higher temperature, the more will dissolve
When a liquid can no longer accommodate more ions?
When a liquid cannot dissolve any further amounts of a compound it is said to be saturated. For example if you add sodium chloride to water evetually you will not be able to dissolve any more salt in the water and it will remain as a solid in the bottom of the bottle. It is the presence of this solid that lets you know that no more can be dissolved and thatt you have a saturated salt solution.
Do vacuous compounds dissolve in water?
sodium chloride dissolve in water because of vacuous compound
What word describes a solution that cannot dissolve any more solid?
Saturated. But you can change the conditions and supersaturate many solutions.
Does salt dissolve in tap water?
Yes it does dissolve in tap water. It can really dissolve in any water.
What can't dissolve in water?
what does not turn dissolve in water is you! our bodies cannot melt in water
Why is sand in water is a suspention?
Sand in water forms a suspension because the sand particles are larger than the spaces between the water molecules. As a result, the sand particles do not dissolve in water but remain suspended, creating a cloudy mixture. The sand particles can settle out of the water over time due to gravity.
What happens when you try to dissolve a lot of solid in a little liquid?
If you try to dissolve a lot of solid in a small amount of liquid, you may reach a point where the liquid becomes saturated and can no longer dissolve any more of the solid. The excess solid will remain undissolved at the bottom of the container.
What is the definition of a solid solute?
Solute is any substance that is dissolved in a substance and is present in less quantity than the other substance. If the solute is a solid substance then it is called a solid solute. For example :- sugar dissolve in water, sugar is solid solute.
What does soluble and insoluble mean?
Materials like salt and sugar will dissolve in the water and are called soluble as they dissolve completely in the water, where as substances that do not dissolve in water like sand are called insoluble materials.
How can we separate naphthalene from sand?
One way is to dissolve the ammonium chloride in water, then recover the ammonium chloride by evaporation; the naphthalene will not dissolve in water in any substantial quantity.
