step 1. well you can put it in water and measure the variance
step 2. you should theoretically calculate the amount of water that will be raised
and you can know whether it is pure or not
Pure gold will have a serial number.
compare the samples density with that of pure gold
Gold is an element; a molecule of gold (Au) is the smallest amount of gold that you can have that is not dividable into smaller amounts of gold. Whether or not a sample of gold is pure depends on the presence or absence of alloys or impurities blended with the gold.
element, pure substance
you weigh its density and compare it with the density of gold, if both densities are same, then the crown is made of pure gold. if the density of the crown is lower than the density of gold, then the crown is made of materials that are cheaper or have a density that is less than gold, meaning that it is not made of pure gold.
One way of determining if a sample of gold is pure, would be to compare the density with that of real gold.

You can either: 1. Hit it with a hammer. If it flattens, it is gold. 2.Rub it on a tile. If the mark is gold colored, it is gold. Hope this helps!
Pure gold will have a serial number.
To check if your gold is pure, you need to compare its weight to the weight of a known sample of pure gold. If the two weights are equal, then you can be confident that your gold is pure.

The determination is by chemical analysis.
One way is if it can be physically combined.

You may be referring to the story of how Archimedes was able to determine if a crown had been made of pure gold (or less-than-pure gold) by measuring how much water the crown and an equal weight of pure gold displaced.
