Acid Test

A test that is conclusive of the value or success of something, derived from the original use of nitric acid as a test for gold.

Gold is tested against Nitric Acid for being soluble , if it does not dissolve then it is tested against nitro-hydrochloric acid and if it gets dissolved then it is gold.
