Alchemy is the art of profiting off magic of turning low value to high value. Not Harry Potter fantasy magic; Penn and Teller Fool Us magic. Alchemy is about lying to people and making money from it using chemistry or any other manipulative means. This is chemistry not alchemy. This is science degree (chemistry) versus art degree (lying).

I think the ions were free moving ( not bound) once the salt was suspended in fluid. So, I guess it would have been electrically conductive ( prior to adding the SMB ) Probably the metal detector coil measures ( senses) electrical conductance sorta because the conductive solution would interfere / interrupt the magnetic flux within the detector coil of wire which has only a small voltage and current enough to maintain a minimal continuity without having the coil collapse or rather without the magnetic flux being reabsorbed back into the coil wire. I dunno 🤔

The last time I dropped gold from solution, I took your tip of chilling the solution first. But I did it a bit differently. Rather than putting ice into the solution, I placed the beaker containing the solution into another container holding ice in brine, much like the old crank ice cream making machines. Worked wonderfully. Was probably much colder than using ice directly.

Whats the density comparison between crystal chloroauric acid and elemental? That chlorine smell is the molecular decomposition by heat, I believe. Thats why you have so much gold that came out. Smelting could reduce it but unsure if gold could be in the smoke. Try this again without adding water when re-liquifying. Remember your metal detector didnt see it.

Remember, the SMB produces SO2 gas which precipitates the gold. When you dump the SMB on the surface of the ice raft all the SO2 gas just goes into the air without reacting with the solution.

23:45 The metallic gold would be the result of chloroauric acid decomposing, both from the heating to dryness and slowly over time (remember it smelling like chlorine? that would be the reason) - remember, gold doesn't like to form compounds and will freebase itself when it can.

Hi Kevin, I suspect that the metallic gold precipitated as you re-hydated the dried chloroauric powder with hyrochloric acid. There was sufficient liquid to dissolve the entire dried acid base but not enough to hold all the metal in solution. Essentially the fresh hydrochloric got saturated and the excess metallic gold that couldn't be held in solution dropped out as metallic gold precipitate. As you were evaporating the solution Aqua regia solution, the nitric part of the solution was holding some gold in a liquid state. In fact as it got dried there mignt just been dropped gold in the flakes but in small particles that acted as seeds to drop the metallic gold when re-hydrated. Good video 👍

What happened when you evaporated the chloroauro acid down is create gold chloride . Whis is soluable in water. . By adding commerical hydrochloric acid, this contains a large percentage of water to be stable and safe to handle. Which put your gold back in solution, and your left with an excess of hydrochloric acid. . Adding the stumpout creates carbon dioxide hydrogen and yellow sulphur , which is exothermic in its 2 reactions. Reacting to the excess hydrochloric acid, and flipping off the chlorine atoms off the gold ions, and then the gold ions attact each other in the water rich environment, which the chlorine ions are trying to bind to the sulfur and sodium to create salts.

Gold is money. It stands on its own and needs no third party validation. Gold is the standard by which everything else is priced, for thousands of years. Because it’s stable and doesn’t change. The gold in your ring could have been worn by Cleopatra. They are desperately trying to divorce themselves from GOLD (and silver). But it’s still here, and it’s still the standard. Just think of it this way; long after dollars, Amazon, Apple and bitcoin are gone and forgotten, gold silver will still be here, and they will still be valuable. The big refiner I sell to, uses XRF to determine purity for my payout. Comes back three nines fine every time.
