One common method to remove copper from gold is through a process called cupellation, where the gold-copper alloy is heated in a furnace with lead, which combines with the copper to form a separate layer called "dore." Another method is through electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through the gold-copper alloy in a solution to separate the copper ions from the gold.

Is gold stronger than copper?

Gold is softer than copper. Copper is stronger and has a higher tensile strength compared to gold. This is why copper is often used for electrical wiring and plumbing where strength is important.


What would happen to a gold ring dropped into a solution of copper nitrate?

When a gold ring is dropped into a solution of copper nitrate, a redox reaction takes place where the gold would dissolve as gold ions, and copper from the copper nitrate would deposit onto the ring. This results in the gold ring becoming plated with a layer of copper.
