According to the theoretical principles in chemistry, a salt is anything that has an Ammonium or any metal ion replace it's hydrogen atom when a base and an acid are reacted together. Therefore, the best and most efficient way of testing for a metal is through reacting the metal with a known acid, which if the substance is a metal it will form a salt and Hydrogen gas.
Alternatively, in order to verify whether an object is a metal or not, placing an electrical probe onto to it to identify whether or not it conducts electricity is a more accurate way of determining whether or not something is a metal.

How do you test if something is a ferrous metal?
Ferrous metal is any metal that contains iron.Iron is attracted the a magnet.So to test if metal is ferrous pass a magnet close to it, if the magnet reacts then you have ferrous metal.
What 4 tests could you do to find out what type of metal something is?
Well, a neutron activation analysis test can find this out all in a single test.
What chemical test would you carry out to prove that the figures of carbon dioxide in air are accurate?
I have absolutely no idea. check a textbook or something.
Which physical test can be used to distinguish between a metal element and a non-metal element?
Conductivity test, Scratch test, Density test, Properties and Malleability ... :)
Why hydrogen sulphide used in heavy metal test?
Because some metal sulfides are water insoluble.
How can you prove your daughter is her fathers child?

Why DNA test is performed?

What can be done to prove a false positive is wrong?
If you mean how can you prove that the drug test results were false, ask for a retest.
How can you test something to see if its metal?
with a magnet
Experiment?
N.1 to try something newN.2 a test to prove or discover something
What is the difference between hypothesis and lemma?
A Hypothesis is something that you set out to test to prove or disprove. A Lemma is something that has already been proved that you use to help prove something else.
How do you test if something is a ferrous metal?
Ferrous metal is any metal that contains iron.Iron is attracted the a magnet.So to test if metal is ferrous pass a magnet close to it, if the magnet reacts then you have ferrous metal.
How can you test if something is a metal?
Run an electrical current through it :)
How can an affidavit be amended such as an affidavit of paternity.?
You can only "amend" a paternity affidavit if you have a paternity test done to prove or disprove paternity... In many cases this is something that the state will do (ie of child support orders)
How many hours before the test can you have something to eat?
That depends on what test you are having done and what your doctor orders.
