We take a very close look at a very small speck of gold.

    $52 per g; current gold price in grams

    197 g in a mole

    6.023×10^23 atoms in a mole

    125,000 atoms/particle or 1.25×10^5 atoms

    (1.25×10^5) / (6.023×10^23)= 2.075×10^-19 mole

    (2.075 × 10^(-19) × 197g = 4.088 × 10^(-17)g

    4.088 × 10^(-17) × $52 = $2.13 × 10^(-15) or

    $.00000000000000213

    Somebody check my math?

  • I wish my Physics teacher was him or any of the nottingham folks

see all

  • I'm going to Nottingham, that is all. xD

  • It's mind blowing that the tiny particle is still 120,000 atoms.

  • @evilferris Trusting your maths, they're currently worth $2.26x10^-(15). Profit!

  • that's not true... keep talking in 10 to the power of whatever... it helps me and such similar alot :)

  • is that 'r rated' I see by queens of the stone age. So science does rock...

    Insert "heavy metal" joke here....

  • Most early level physics teachers teach that physics must be accurate, mine said "if you miss the moon by a nonameter, you have missed."

    This may be why first year students react so.

  • I made gold nanoparticles at home, how do i preserve it? it keeps precipitating out

    

  • @drewkeener what do u mean????

  • @DoctorFastest I use a laser at 720 nm wavelength for DLS. According to his passport instrument measures the size of 0.8 nm. But if he could see the separate particles, I do not know. At least I got it a size of 3-5 nm with mixed peaks.

  • Yeeeeesss!!! Moriarty listens to Queens of the Stone Age.

    What a legendary physicist!
