How can you tell if something is solid gold all the way through or if it’s plated?

Filed under: Chemistry — @ 3:16 pm

I have a really, really old set of glass wear that is 1 inch rimmed gold. I don’t know if it is solid gold all the way thru or if it is dipped or plated. How can you tell without breaking one? Anyone know?

I know that chemicals are added during the smeltering of gold to purify it.

How much gold is there is the world?

Filed under: Chemistry — Tags: , , — @ 4:34 pm

I heard once that the total amount of gold in the world (including that as yet undiscovered) would create a cube about the size of Trafalgar square in London. This sound quite small to me and I have 2 questions…

Is this true?
How do we know for sure?
