Haven't been posting #sciencepic for a while so let's bring some back
有一段時間沒有發佈#sciencepic，所以讓我們來一點科學吧
This looks like poo lol, but what we had in here is some edible metals, also know as varks. Varks are usually made up of silver or gold, precious metals. They are often used in food decoration, doesn't contain any nutrition, solely for aesthetically pleasure, making the food look luxury. But in reality, those pieces of Gold foils are usually only 0.2 to 0.8µm in thickness.
這看起來像屎，但我們在這裡有一些可食用金屬，也被稱為金箔。 金箔通常由銀或金，反正就是貴金屬組成。它們通常用於食品裝飾，不含任何營養，僅僅為了美觀的享受，使食物看起來奢華。但實際上，這些金箔片的厚度通常僅為0.2至0.8μm。
You may wonder how much gold are in there, let's try some simple maths
你可能想知道那裡有多少黃金，我們來試一下簡單的數學
let's say we have a 2cm by 2cm piece of vark here, we actually have a 0.2mm^3 of gold only (2cm X 2cm X 0.5µm)
假設我們在這裡有一個2cm×2cm的金箔片，我們實際上只有一個0.2mm ^ 3的金 (2cm X 2cm X 0.5µm)
gold has a density of 19.2g/cm^3 = 0.0192g/mm^3
金的密度為19.2g /立方公分= 0.0192g /立方公分
so the vark = 0.0192 X 0.2 = 0.00384g only
所以金箔 = 0.0192×0.2 = 0.00384g
1g of gold today is 42.5 USD
今天黃金是42.5美元1克
so 42.5 X 0.00384 = $0.16 USD
所以42.5 X 0.00384 = $ 0.16美元
That's like cheaper than getting your mcdonald's meal size up
這比你在麥當勞加大還便宜
Golden french fries, seems a great gimmick for mcdonald's next time lol
金色薯條，對麥當勞來說似乎是一個很棒的噱頭 XD
