Can gold float on mercury?

Gold is a higher density than Mercury so it will sink if placed into a container of mercury.


Will a block of ice sink in mercury metal?

No, the density of water ice (0.92) is far below that of mercury (13.6) and so the ice will float on liquid mercury. Even iron density 7.85) and copper (8.73) and lead (11.3) will float on mercury but gold (density 19.6) sinks!


Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?

The density of mercury is much greater than that of water, so the nail will not sink. The density of the nail is less than that of mercury and greater than that for water, so it sinks in the water.

What substance is least dense rubber copper wood or mercury?

The density of rubber can vary, and the density of wood can vary even more (unless we're putting air in the rubber to make foam). In general, however, wood is less dense than rubber, rubber is less dense than copper, and copper is less dense than mercury.


Why would a glass marble sink in water but floats in mercury?

The cause is the difference in density; the density of water is 1 g/cm3 and for mercury is 13,5 g/cm3.
