what happens when a black or a white touches it
that wasn't gold😂😂😂😂
Google says, No, mercury does not turn gold into mercury. When mercury touches gold, it dissolves the gold to form a silver-colored solid or liquid alloy called an amalgam. The gold is not destroyed or turned into mercury; it is simply mixed with it and can be recovered by heating the mixture to vaporize the mercury. i didn't know that pretty interesting
I used to play with mercury when I was a kid. No one knew the health risks back then
it acts like a symbiotic relationship
alchemy
fake
they do this to the amazon rainforest
Great you just lost 22m dollars
it becomes a poisonous mess since Mercury is poisonous
back in the day miners used mercury to collect gold, there was a lot of them died from mercury poisoning.
why is it Chinese gold😂 don't people know there's alot of fake gold in China just saying
😳
brother I know temu gold when I see it
not gold
hiii who's looking for a lady to chat and link up
it becomes adamantium
so shit ? is it now mercury or still gold ..DID I JUST LOOSE MY FKN MONEY !!!!!😳
can you bring it back to gold?
reverse the process
mercury binds on an atomic level with gold. simply heating it to its melting point the mercury will evaporate and leave the cold in its natural state again. this is how prospectors were able to get the gold dust to settle into a clump the mercury/gold would stay at the bottom of the pan with the mercury as the water and sand ran off.
this reminds me of coffee milk and coffee ☕ can you separate them
I this is so then explain to me why gold is so special
its platinum and now you pay more for it haha.
you can change it back by heating the gold to melting point and it evaporates the mercury. Reversing the affects of the amalgam.
does this Mercury action only happen with gold or does it happen with other base metals
atomic interaction
in the old days the old timers would pour mercury into assays where oftentimes a mule was used to pull a large stone around in a circle to crush the gold ore over time large pools of Mercury soak up any available gold including micro pieces of gold That's when the Mercury becomes gold amalgam once you have obtained the desired crushed or you extract the Mercury from the ore then you refine the mercury and obtain the gold
that's not gold, that was painted lead or something
so does that make it worth less then
burn off the mercury (dangerous if not ventilated) recover the gold. this is how they quickly recover fine gold
so is it still gold?
maybe thats how white gold is made
notice the writing on the gold, its in Chinese....Chinese gold is also known as fake gold....😂😂😂😂
so makes fake platinum
It's been used in gold mining for forever, so it's not surprising
Gold is indestructible. You can take the mercury out of the gold.
