Suppose you find a chunk of what appears to be gold in the sand at the beach. devise a simple experiment to determine whether or not you’ve struck it rich. list all lab equipment required and list the specific steps you would take.

Measure the density by the displacement of water

Equipment

•Balance

•Graduated cylinder

Procedure.

Calculate the

If D = 19.3 g/cm^3, the chunk is gold.

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
