What could you determine about a gold necklace that bubbles when it is exposed to an acid?

If a gold necklace bubbles when exposed to acid, it suggests that the necklace is not pure gold. Pure gold does not react with acid. The bubbling could indicate that the necklace is made of a lower karat gold alloy or a different metal that is reacting with the acid. It is recommended to have the necklace tested by a professional to determine its composition accurately.
