A gold object would displace more water than a silver object of the same size because gold is denser than silver. Density is mass divided by volume, so an object with a higher density will displace more water.

Can silver displace zinc from its salt solution?

Yes, silver can displace zinc from its salt solution through a redox reaction. Silver is more reactive than zinc, so in a displacement reaction, silver will replace zinc in the solution to form silver salt and zinc metal.


What type of gold is 9ct gold plated sterling silver Is it real gold or real silver?

9ct gold plated sterling silver means that the item is primarily sterling silver with a thin layer of 9ct gold applied over it. The base metal is the sterling silver which is real silver, while the gold layer is real gold but in a lower concentration (9ct) compared to pure gold.


Do gold and silver have reactivity?

Gold is a very unreactive metal and does not tarnish in air or water. Silver is also relatively unreactive, but it can react with sulfur compounds in the atmosphere, leading to tarnishing.


Is gold lighter than silver?

Yes. This is a true story about why:Back in ancient Greece there was this man named Archimedes, a Greek scientist, who was brought a problem by the King of Syracuse. The problem: The king wanted to know if his crown was made of pure gold or had other metals mixed into it. So, one day Archimedes was taking a bath when he noticed that when e placed his foot in the water, the water would rise up. This gave Archimedes an idea! He placed down two tubs of water. One he placed gold in, another he placed silver. The gold floated and the sliver sank. Next, he put the crown in the water and it sank. So, the crown WAS NOT made of pure gold, otherwise it would have floated.So there you have it. Gold is lighter than silver.


What is the result of a reaction between iron and gold nitrate?

When iron is added to gold nitrate solution, no reaction occurs because iron is not reactive enough to displace gold from its nitrate compound. Gold nitrate would remain unchanged.

Which would displace more water ounce of silver and ounce of gold?

An ounce of gold would displace more water than an ounce of silver since gold is denser than silver. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so denser materials displace more water when submerged.


What metal cannot displace hydrogen from dilute acid?

Gold is a metal that cannot displace hydrogen from dilute acid due to its low reactivity.


What is the story behind Archimedes principle?

The Story Behind the ScienceHieron, the king of Syracuse and Archimedes' friend, wanted to know whether his crown was made of solid gold. The king suspected that the gold had been mixed with silver, which is worth less than gold. So he asked Archimedes to try to resolve the question. The solution would have been easy if the king had allowed the crown to be melted down. Since that was no possible, Archimedes had to find another solution to determine the metal content of the crown. Archimedes discovered the answer while at a public bath. He noticed that when he got into the water, it overflowed the tub. By measuring the overflow, he found that the volume-the amount of space a thing occupies-of the spilled water was equal to the volume of his body under water. He realized he could determine the gold content of the crown by measuring the water it would displace against the amount of water displaced by a lump of gold weighing the same as the crown. The crown and lump of gold would each displace the same amount of water if the crown were solid gold. If the crown contained silver, it would displace more water, since the volume of a weight of silver is greater than the volume of the same weight of gold. With this discovery, Archimedes leaped from his bath and in his excitement raced naked down the street toward his home, shouting "EUREKA! I have found it!"Archimedes was the first to develop the physical law that is now known as Archimedes' law. The law explains buoyancy, or why objects seem to lose weight in water or other liquids. This principle has been applied ever since to test precious metals.


How many grams of rubidium must react to displace 14.4 g of gold from a solution of gold nitrate?

Rubidium I would not recommend, however 85.47 g will displace 197/3 = 65.67g gold ?= (14.4/65.67)x85.47

How do you react silver nitrate and iron?

When silver nitrate reacts with iron, a displacement reaction occurs. The iron displaces the silver in the silver nitrate solution, forming iron nitrate and silver metal precipitate. The reaction can be represented by the following equation: Fe(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → 2Ag(s) + Fe(NO3)2(aq)

What happen if gold is dipped in water?

A physicist's answer. Archimedes principle: It would displace either it's volume of Mercury (if the specific gravity (SG) of mercury is less than that of gold...which I think it is and there were enough mercury for the gold to completely submerge the gold, i.e it sinks to the bottom) OR it would displace it's weight of mercury (assuming the SG of mercury is greater than that of gold...which I doubt, again assuming sufficient mercury in the container, i.e. it floats). Also, amalgamation of the gold and mercury will take place over time. I'm not sure what voltaic phenomenon might occur.


What would happen if a small piece of silver was dropped into the molten gold?

the silver would melt and mix within the gold, because the melting point of gold is 103 degrees more than silver (gold=1064 silver=916)
