Any half competent freshman chemistry student could measure density and tell the difference between gold and tungsten.

“Any half competent freshman chemistry student could measure density and tell the difference between gold and tungsten.”

You think? I believe that is false...

Tungsten is 0.36% less dense than gold. If a piece was made up of 1/2 each, the difference between that and a pure gold piece would be 0.18% in density.

Just curious: are you suggesting that one could measure the volume and weight and detect the difference?
