Iron pyrite is often called “fool’s gold” because it looks like gold. Suppose you have a solid that looks like gold which has a mass of 23.5g. When the sample is immersed into the water in a graduated cylinder, the water level rises from 47.5 ml to 52.2 ml. is this sample a “fool’s gold” or “real” gold? (Hint: density = 5.00 g/cm3 for fool’s gold and real gold is density = 19.3 g/cm3)
