Antique military medals and such were sometimes gold-filled, rather than simply plated. Gold filling is applying thin sheets of gold onto the base metal. I recall my grand-dad once saying that his medals from WWI were worth more than than their weight in $100 bills. He said there was gold in them.

Cody, there is a much simpler method to extract the gold from the gilded dishes. Use dilute HCl and hydrogen peroxide to strip the gold then dilute the the gold solution and raise the pH with baking soda. The acid does not have to be completely neutralized for the gold to precipitate. You know you are getting close when the baking soda produces a purple color where it hits the solution.

@@well_as_an_expert_id_say Suicide rate is about normal based on sex and age group. The mining industry is dominated by men (getting not as bad now) and as a result, some few guys going through some bad times see cyanide as a quick/painless solution to their issues. I personally don't know of anyone who has taken this route though and I have been in mining for about 25 years. However it does happen.

It's because of the surface tension. It pulls the molten gold into a sphere.

Don't ingest it, wear gloves and preferably safety goggles, and know the chemistry of what you're doing. As Cody mentioned, bleach makes it more or less harmless. Industrial gold processing uses cyanide solution extraction, but they recover the cyanide at the end and reuse it and it's done in a continuous process. It's cheap and as he demonstrated here, effective even with very low percentages of gold. It's not the fastest, but it is effective.

Hey Cody, as a chemistry student I felt boggled when you said "burn all the carbon into ash." I was under the impression that carbon *is* ash, and that you couldn't reduce it much further. What would the ash be composed of if you "burned all the carbon out?"
@scoopscience
@scoopscience 8 жыл бұрын
To keep it simple, the carbon is basically wood, (like a campfire) burning it to ash is just adding oxygen to it.

@ZivTheWyrd 8 жыл бұрын
come on man :/ wood ashes are mostly calcium carbonates with other noncombustable oxides/carbonates (potassium/magnesium/manganese etc) , there's very little to no carbon left in wood ashes. In fact, ashes in general are noncombustibles left over once the carbon has been completely burnt off, in this case, sodium carbonate/gold and other traces from the water supply. There's a difference between keeping it simple and misinforming :I
@gordonlawrence3537
@gordonlawrence3537 8 жыл бұрын
#it depends on the ash. Fully burned ash has little carbon left but most preppers/woodsmen deliberately make fires that leave a fair amount of carbon behind. The reason being it is rich with free radicals which make it easier to start a fire from.
