Gold when put in aqua regia dissolves. Aqua regia is obtained by mixing concentrated nitric acid and concentrated hydrochloric acid.
Once the gold is dissolved the metals are participated out by adding salts ( not table salt) to the mixture.
FIRE ;)
We could add HCl to the mixture of Zinc and Gold and see which one appear to separate first.
Add concentrated sulphuric acid to the mixture
You can separate gold from sodium gold chloride by adding zinc powder to the sodium gold chloride and heating the mixture. Then you will be left with just gold.
Since gold binds with zinc, you would have to chemically extract the gold out with aqua regis.

Gold is a pure element, not a mixture of any kind.White gold (alloy with nickel, manganese, or palladium) is a homogeneous mixture because you can't see the separate substances that are in it. Therefore it is a homogeneous mixture.

First add water to the mixture to dissolve the salt, then filter with filter paper to obtain the mixture of gold and iron. Proceed by using a strong enough magnet to extract the iron powder and you should be left with the Gold.....
use soapy water. the wood will float the gold will sink. the soap reduces the surface tension, preventing tiny particles of gold from floating.
You depend on the physical state of the constituents to separate a mixture
it isn't gold is an element not a mixture
Gold is homogeneous, meaning composed of the same thing, / phase. like salt. Heterogeneous, composed of different. ie. ice + water
the gold will be alot more dense than the material you are panning, so by using subtle movements of the pan to separate these particles, the material is separated into soil stones and gold.
