There is no real gold in fools gold.
real gold does not sing it sinks and so does fools gold.
Two methods to tell real gold from fools gold are:Rub the piece of gold against a piece of unglazed ceramic material. If it is real, it will leave a golden mark while fools gold will leave a black mark.Apply nitric acid to the gold. If it dissolves, then it is obviously fake, as real gold cannot be dissolved in nitric acid.
Pyrite
if it is real gold, you can bite into it and leave marks where your teeth bit down at because it is really soft. However, if it is fools gold, you might lose some teeth if you bite down on it
No. It is iron pyrite and much more minerals. However, the two are sometimes found together, and some samples of fools' gold may contain trace amounts of real gold, but only a tiny spec.
If you rub fools gold on a wet towel you would see black if you rub gold on a towel you get gold. Also, if you bite on it, fools gold will break. Real gold won't. Additonlly, they are two differnt elements. Fool's gold just looks like gold.
No, pyrite, or fools' gold, is a compound called iron disulfide (FeS2).
Real gold is extremely soft and malleable; therefore, real gold could be dented with little pressure. Fools gold (Iron Pyrite) is much harder, and therefore harder to dent. A practical method is to get the material wet, and hold it up in the sun. Gold and fools gold will both shine. Now put your hand between the material and the sun. The gold will still shine, but the fools gold will become quite dark. This is because the shine of gold comes from diffuse reflection (like light shining on paper), while fools gold's comes from specular reflection (like a mirror).
Fools gold
Fake gold, or "fools gold" has a foul sulfur odor while real gold does not. Usually, you can rub the gold and sniff it to determine if it is real or fake.
gold is soft fools gold (fake gold) will break yr teeth if u try to chew on it
