Dissolving gold in mercury
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июн 2021
- What's cool about mercury is that it can dissolve most other metals, and form something called an amalgam. This is commonly done to purify gold, and separate it from raw ore. What I think is fun though, is to just throw some pure gold leaf into it. As the mercury dissolves the gold, it's slowly pulled in, and it kind of looks like the mercury is eating it.

Haahhah
in the old west miners called this "Quicksilver" and because it stays at the bottom of water it was used in sluices, to catch the gold flakes and separate ore from rock in gold bearing rivers and when panning ore,
once they were ready to process the gold out of it they simply boiled the mercury off,
thats why so many gold miners went crazy historically,
In the process of that boiling, the miners would inhale the deadly mercury fumes which literally ate holes in the grey matter of their brains.

Scientifically, room temp is usually considered to be 20-25 Celsius.
Gallium melts at about 30 Celsius.
So, technically he is correct
@ZttackFrmBhind 🤓🤓🤓
What about gallinstan?
@@Stonksbox Galinstan is an alloy (a solution of two or more metals) because it is a mixture of Gallium, Indium and Tin; so it technically doesn't count. Though in common parlance it would be called a metal
So this is how they get rid of the gold they can’t sell.

It’s not that expensive the type of the gold leaf because some are more expensive then others some are 1000$ some are just 10 bucks so he must be using the 10 bucks it depends the quality that quality Is not as good as if restaurants soo yeah…
