Nothing. The gold remains the same.
At room temperatures and pressures gold is extremely resistant to chemical reactions with oxygen and/or water.
It is slightly soluble in water, but not so much that you'd notice. There are a few grams of gold dissolved in every million tons of seawater - its really not economical to extract.
At very very high temparatures and pressures, such as are found thousands of metres underground, gold is slightly more soluble in water and thus is able to very slowly accumulate in quartz veins - which is the 'natural' form when veins of gold are discovered.
When gold burns in oxygen, it forms gold oxide (Au2O3). This reaction occurs at very high temperatures and can result in the gold changing in appearance due to the formation of the oxide layer.
Gold does not react with water under normal conditions. Gold is a noble metal and is highly unreactive with most substances, including water.
Water and sugar are not elements. Water is a compound made up of the elements hydrogen and oxygen, while sugar is a compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Gold, on the other hand, is an element as it consists of only one type of atom - gold atoms.
Gold does not react with water or dissolve in it, so when gold is added to water, it will not undergo a chemical reaction. The gold will simply sink to the bottom of the container due to its high density.
Some examples of things that have no carbon in them include gold, water, and oxygen.
(most dense to least dense) gold, mercury, water, oxygen
According to the textbooks, nothing.Gold is very inert, and wont even react with dilute acids.
Steel is an alloy made mainly of iron, carbon, and other elements. Water is a compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen is a chemical element, and gold is a precious metal. They are all distinct substances with different properties.
When gold burns in oxygen, it forms gold oxide (Au2O3). This reaction occurs at very high temperatures and can result in the gold changing in appearance due to the formation of the oxide layer.
Oxygen is a gas at room temperature. Gold is a solid, water is a liquid, and lightning is an electrical discharge.
if the metal sinks in water is is proof it is gold

The gold will sink, nothing more. It will not dissolve or react in any way.
Gold is said to be noble metal because it is unreactive and does not react with either oxygen or water.
