Ok. No problem but it might take me a while to get to 1,000 posts but I will get there eventually. I am a "slow" poster. :ROFL:

Congrats Gaillo Are you the 1st to get to 1000?

I gave you a +k for your achievement.

Hey! I just got to +100 Karmas!!! ;D

Yep... Ponce will be a close second, if he keeps up his amazing posting frequency! 8)

Watch out Gaillo.... the mods will ban you for spamming.

Oh... this is Gold-Silver.us? Never mind.... I must have been thinking about another forum. :P

From wikipedia:


Rhodium

Rhodium (pronounced /ˈroʊdiəm/ ROH-dee-əm) is a chemical element that is a rare, silvery-white, hard and chemically inert transition metal and a member of the platinum group. It has the chemical symbol Rh and atomic number 45. Naturally occurring rhodium is composed of only one isotope, 103Rh. It is one of the rarest precious metals and, with a price of about $80,000/kg in 2010, is the most expensive member of that class.

Rhodium was discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston. It is found in platinum ores and is mostly used as a catalyst. Because of its rarity, rhodium is usually alloyed with platinum or palladium and applied in high-temperature and corrosion-resistive coatings. Rhodium detectors are used in nuclear reactors to measure the neutron flux level.

Characteristics

Rhodium is a hard silvery white and durable metal that has a high reflectance. Rhodium metal does not normally form an oxide, even when heated. Oxygen is absorbed from the atmosphere at the melting point of rhodium, but on solidification, the oxygen is released. Rhodium has both a higher melting point and lower density than platinum. It is not attacked by acids: it is completely insoluble in nitric acid and dissolves slightly in aqua regia.

History

Rhodium (Greek rhodon (ῥόδον) meaning "rose") was discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston, soon after his discovery of palladium. He made this discovery in England using crude platinum ore that he presumably obtained from South America.

His procedure involved dissolving the ore in aqua regia and neutralizing the acid with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). He then precipitated the platinum by adding ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, as ammonium chloroplatinate. All other metals like copper, lead, palladium and rhodium were precipitated with zinc. Diluted nitric acid dissolved all but palladium and rhodium, which were dissolved in aqua regia and the rhodium was precipitated by the addition of sodium chloride as Na3[RhCl6]·nH2O. After washing with ethanol, the rose red precipitate was reacted with zinc forming rhodium metal.

He was joking... even the moderators have the same "1 karma per hour" limit, and we can't go in and "adjust" it, clear it, or set it to some arbitrary value. Probably JQP can, if he knows how, but I doubt messing around with the Karma system is a high priority for him considering the other software problems that are being solved.

Me?...............why me oh God, why me.......OiVey OeVey.
