If you throw real gold into a container of water, it should sink down to the bottom quickly. If you see the piece floating on the surface of the water or it takes an unusually long time to sink, it is most likely a fake. Real gold is a heavy metal.
No, gold does not float in alcohol because gold is much denser than alcohol. It will sink to the bottom when placed in alcohol.
No, not in water. Gold is very dense. However, if you found a liquid that is more dense than gold, at a temperature that would not melt the gold, then the gold would indeed float in it.
Gold is a very dense metal, so it would sink in water rather than float.
No liquid can make gold float as gold is much denser than any liquid. However, gold can be suspended or dispersed in liquids such as mercury or certain types of molten metallic alloys due to their high density.
No, a boat made entirely of gold would not float because gold is much denser than water. The density of gold is about 19 times higher than water, so the boat would sink.
real gold does not sing it sinks and so does fools gold.
no it does not float
Yes and no ..Gold has a Specific Gravity around 19 times the same amount of water. However, if you have a small thin flake of gold or flour gold you can often see these pieces of Gold float on water. This is caused by the Gold having a thin coating of oil on it from the natural oils that are on your hands. Also thin, small pieces of Gold can float due to what is called the "surface tension effect" to get Gold to sink prospectors will put a small amount of dishwashing detergent in their gold pans. That removes the oil from your hands as well as breaking the surface tension effect. To sum it up...yes real Gold can float, but most Gold sinks.
No, gold is heavy

not that i know
no

Gold can float on water if there's a layer of oil on the surface. To break the surface tension, a drop of Dawn soap will do the trick.
yes
real gold
