Gold Analysis

Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au. It is found in a solid state deep within the Earth. It is a shiny, yellowish metal that humans can easily process and alter its state based on their needs. To be more specific, people can melt gold, meaning that they turn it from a solid to a liquid state, by raising the temperature to 1,064.43 °C.

Gold is a precious metal as it has great financial value. In ancient times, it was the main source for making coins, jewellery and other creations. After the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, Europe ceased using it as a financial means because it did not facilitate the exorbitant costs of providing for military needs.

Although gold lost its prestigious status, it remains a sought-after and precious metal. It continues to play an important role in the economy since many international banks hold gold reserves and gold investments are common. Additionally, gold is used for crafting numerous objects, like jewellery, dental caps, computer and industrial components.

The purity of gold, like diamonds, is measured in carats. It is important to know that it is a common practice to mix gold with other metals, such as silver, copper, iron, and so on, so that it is cheaper to make. When we talk about a 24-carat gold object, it means that this thing is made out of pure, unalloyed gold.The lower the number of carats is, the less amount of gold it was used for the creation of the particular object.
