No. The two metals are seldom found together in nature (Mercury is found in the mineral cinnabar). However, some industrial mining processes used the affinity between the metals to remove trace gold from ores.
(Mercury is atomic number 80 and Gold is 79, so to turn mercury into gold, you would need to turn a proton into a neutron. This requires a cyclotron.)

What features does mercury have?
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. The others are all solid. It is also a very dense metal (twice as dense as iron) and it can be used to dissolve gold. Many mercury compounds are highly toxic, especially methyl mercury. Mercury sulfide is the least water-soluble compound known to science.
Which planet is 5.5 percent of Earth's mass and has no moon?
Mercury
What are alliteration names for mercury?
Alliterative names for mercury could include "Mercury Mist," "Mercury Marvel," or "Mercury Mettle." These names emphasize the element's unique qualities while maintaining a rhythmic and poetic sound. Other options could be "Mercury Mirage" or "Mercury Motion."
Name of an element and the closest planet to the sun?
Element: Mercury, Closest planet to the sun: Mercury
How many meters away from the sun is mercury?
Mercury is 57.9x106m from the sun.
Can you get the gold from pour mercury?
Mercury and gold are two different elements. There is no mercury in gold and there is no gold in mercury. If there is some gold mixed in with the mercury to begin with, then there are ways to separate it out. If there is no gold in the mercury to begin with, then there's no way to get any gold out of it.
What is the reaction of mercury on gold and its mass?
Mercury forms an amalgam with gold, creating a gold-mercury alloy. This process is commonly used in gold mining to extract gold from ore. The mass of the gold-mercury amalgam will be the combined mass of the gold and the mercury used in the reaction.
What machine separates gold from mercury?
A centrifuge machine can be used to separate gold from mercury. The centrifuge uses centrifugal force to separate the heavier gold from the lighter mercury.
How much gold can mercury absorb?
Mercury can absorb gold through a process called amalgamation, where gold dissolves into the mercury to form an amalgam. The amount of gold that mercury can absorb depends on the surface area of the gold particles and the concentration of the mercury. Mercury can absorb significant amounts of gold, making it a commonly used method for extracting gold from ores.
How many electron in gold and Mercury?
gold: 79 mercury: 80
Does gold have Mercury in it?
Gold is an element, and so would not have any other element, such as mercury, contained within in. Gold found on earth, however, is rarely pure gold. This gold has a variety of elements scattered throughout the gold, but mercury would only appear in very trace quantities, if at all.
Can gold float on mercury?
Gold is a higher density than Mercury so it will sink if placed into a container of mercury.
Why does gold sink in Mercury?
Gold sinks in mercury due to its high density compared to mercury. Gold has a density of around 19.3 g/cm^3, while mercury has a density of about 13.6 g/cm^3. This density difference causes gold to sink in mercury when the two substances are in contact.
What element was used during the California gold rush extract gold from mine deposits?
Mercury was used to dissolve gold from the ore. The mercury/gold mixture was then heated to drive off the mercury leaving the gold. The mercury vapours were detrimental to the environment and the jhealth of the prospectors
Can gold dust be filtrated by mercury to extract gold itsef?
At one time, mercury WAS used to extract gold from gold ore. The rock was crushed, and washed over a copper sheet coated with mercury. Gold forms an amalgam with mercury, and some of the gold would be trapped in the mercury. The mercury would be scraped from the copper, and distilled, leaving behind the gold. Other processes are used today.
What happens when gold is treated with Mercury?
When gold is treated with mercury, it forms an amalgam. This process is often used in gold mining to extract gold from ore. The amalgam is then heated, causing the mercury to evaporate and leaving behind the purified gold. However, this method is hazardous due to the toxicity of mercury.
What is Mercury into gold?
No. One can not transform one element into another. However Mercury may be used to extract gold from gold containing sand. The gold will dissolve in the mercury which can then be boiled away to leave the gold. This will APPEAR to make mercury change into gold but this is not the case, you have to put the gold into the mercury first.PLEASE NOTE - Mercury is VERY VERY toxic/poisonous and using it to extract gold this way is dangerous to the environment and harmful to the people doing it (especially the boiling away mercury phase) - do not refine gold this way, use a mechanical separation process.
