Hello!

The quickest and simplest way would be to take it to a jeweler or pawn shop and get it checked.

However, another way is: make a light, tiny scratch on the item using a small nail file or similar rough object. Choose a spot that is not noticeable if you want to keep it's value. apply a small drop of nitric acid to the scratch (use a dropper if you have one)

If there is no reaction, then the piece is probably made from real gold

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Answer: you can tell if its gold by seeing if the rock it is found in is quartz.  or you could put the gold up to a magnet, if it is real gold, it will not stick.

Assume <em>R</em> is measured in meters (m) and <em>M</em> in kilograms (kg). Then

<em>R</em> ² / (<em>GM</em>) = [m]² / ([N•m²/kg²] [kg]) = m•kg / N = m•kg / (kg•m/s²) = s²

so <em>t</em> ² is indeed proportional to <em>R</em> ²/(<em>GM</em>).

How many moles of gas must be forced into a 4.6 l tire to give it a gauge pressure of 31.2 psi at 26 âc? the gauge pressure is r
Bess [88]
Use the Ideal Gas Law to the air in the tire : 

( P ) ( V ) = ( n ) ( R ) ( T ) 
n = ( P ) ( V ) / ( R ) ( T ) 
P = P gauge + P baro = 31.2 psig + 14.8 psia = 46 psia 
P = ( 46 psia ) ( 1 atm / 14.696 psia ) = 3.13 atm 
n = ( P ) ( V ) / ( R ) ( T ) 
n = ( 3.13 atm ) ( 4.6 L ) / ( 0.08206 atm - L / mol - K ) ( 26.0 + 273.2 K ) 
n = 0.5864 moles 
m = ( n ) ( M ) 
m = ( 0.5864 mol ) ( 28.96 g/ mol ) = 16.98 g

so 150/7200=.0208km/s 

unless you have to convert it to miles or something else. but use the formula!
