Can silver displace gold in gold compounds?

Of course not. That would make it a silver compound and not a gold compound! Gold compounds include gold. Replacing the gold with silver would change the look and physical properties of the compound. read more

Yes, silver is more reactive and should be abble to displace gold in some of its compounds. Pratically, however, it’s a little hard to achieve. Silver is abble to displace gold from some of its salts in solution, like gold(III) nitrate. read more

A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compounds. This means you can predict the outcome of trying to react a metal with the compound of another metal and you can also make a reasonable prediction of what you might see. read more

You will need to know that gold has a density of 19.3 g/mL (hint: which could be written as 19.3 g/cc since one mL is equal to 1 cubic centimeter). Changing mg to grams is fairly standard conversion, and getting the height (or “thickness”) from a volume and area is straighforward. read more
