The environment would have most likely been covered in deep water such as in a lake or swamp. One with clay particle and other fine particle sediments.
One of the most important characteristic of a metal is its density. As density is the mass of any substance per unit volume. If one can measure the mass of the given shiny metal and its volume then the density of the metal can be determined. The density if matches with the density of the real gold then one can determine the metal is gold or not. The other experiments given will not work in any condition as-
1. Gold doesn't react with water.
2. The hardness of any metals are more than the non-metals and it is not at all an unique property of any metal.
3. All the metals usually reacts with acids or bases with more or less extent. thus it cannot identify the metal is gold or not.
4. The magnetic property is an inherent property of metal. There are several metals which shows magnetic property. Thus gold cannot be identified by this way.
Answer:
The time recorded in the lab notebook is shorter than the true reaction time because the reaction starts the moment the two solutions were mixed
Explanation:
A chemical reaction is "a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as distinct from a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction" (Oxford dictionary).
A chemical reaction begins immediately the reactants are mixed together in a reaction vessel because the particles of the reactants immediately begin to collide with each other. There is no lost time before reactions begins!
This implies that, the time recorded in the lab notebook is shorter than the true reaction time because the reaction starts the moment the two solutions were mixed.
<span>ANSWER:
Organic reactions proceed at a very SLOWER rate.
Reasoning:
</span><span>Organic reactions are chemical reactions involving organic compounds. They are less soluble</span> in water than inorganic compounds. Therefore, organic compounds react at a slower rate and produce a much more complex set of products than inorganic compounds.
