Gold is usually alloyed in jewelry to give it more strength, and the term carat describes the amount of gold present (24 carats is pure gold). It is estimated that all the gold in the world, so far refined, could be placed in a single cube 60 ft. on a side.
The most common gold compounds are auric chloride (AuCl3) and chlorauric acid (HAuCl4). A mixture of one part nitric acid with three of hydrochloric acid is called aqua regia (because it dissolved gold, the King of Metals). It is unaffected by air and most reagents.
Applications
Gold is used as buillon and in jewellery, glass and electronics. Jewellery consumes around 75% of all gold produced. Gold for jewellery can be given a range of hues depending on the metal with which is alloyed (white, red, blue, green etc.). Colloidal gold is added to glass to colour it red or purple, and metallic gold is applied as a thin film on the windows of large building to reflect the heat of the Sun\'s ray. Gold electroplating is used to in the electronic industry to protect their copper components and improve their solderability.
Gold in the environment
Gold is widely distributes on the earth at a background level of 0.03 g/1000 kg (0.03 ppm by weight). Its interness and its high density causes it to concentrate in streambeds, either in small flakes or in larger nuggets, from which it may be recovered by panning. It is found free in nature and associated with quartz, pyrite and other minerals.
Most gold is mined and comes from gravels and quarts veins or is
associated with pyrites deposits. Two thirds of the world\'s supply
comes from South Africa, and 2/3 of
USA production is from South Dakota and Nevada. Other main mining
areas are Canada and Russia. Gold is found in sea water, but no
effective economic process has been designed (yet) to extract it
from this source. World production is around 2500 tonnes per year,
but reserves are estimated to be ten of thousand of tonnes.
