A whole lot!
There is a huge quantity of gold is seawater. But it's distributed widely - across all the oceans of all the world - and is incorporated on the atomic level. That makes it very, very hard to separate out. No one has demonstrated that it can be done economically.
The concentration of gold in seawater varies from place to place, and ranges between 5 to 50 ppt (about .005 to .05 tonnes (5 to 50 kg) per km3)
Given that the volume of all the seas is about 1.37 billion km3 The total amount of gold in all the seas is about 7 to 75 billion kg.
What else can I help you with?
Is gold being or has gold been extracted from seawater?
Gold has been extracted from seawater, but the cost is not worth the effort for the very small amount that can be obtained.
How much gold is in a cubic mile of seawater?
A cubic mile of seawater contains approximately 0.004 parts per million of gold, which translates to about 0.000006 grams of gold per liter. Given that there are about 4.2 billion liters in a cubic mile, this results in roughly 7,000 grams, or about 15.4 pounds, of gold in a cubic mile of seawater. However, extracting this gold is currently not economically viable due to the low concentration.
Every drop of seawater contains approximately how many gold atoms?
Every drop of seawater contains around 0.12 billion gold atoms.
Why are gold and silver not mined from seawater?
To date, gold and silver can be mined more economically on land.
What are the release dates for Aloha Gold - 2013 TV SUSPENDED?
Aloha Gold - 2013 TV SUSPENDED was released on: USA: 2013
How much gold is in the worlds oceans seawater?
200 times more than the land surface
Why don't people mine the gold that is in the ocean?
The cost would far ourweigh the benefit to extract the gold from seawater.
How many gold atoms does a drop of sea water contain?
There are roughly 8.3 x 10^22 atoms in a drop of seawater, but only a very small portion of these would be gold atoms. Gold is present in seawater in very trace amounts, estimated to be around 0.0000000004 mg of gold per liter of seawater, so the number of actual gold atoms would be miniscule compared to the total number of atoms in the drop.
What is the matter of seawater?
Sea water is water with a few thousand different dissolved salts and a variety of dissolved or suspended organic compounds.
What lquids can make gold float?
No liquid can make gold float as gold is much denser than any liquid. However, gold can be suspended or dispersed in liquids such as mercury or certain types of molten metallic alloys due to their high density.
