Does gold sink or float in mercury?

Gold would definatly sink in mercury............ mercury is much much denser then gold so therefor the gold will float. The amount of upthrrust will be the same as the amount of weight causing the gold to float. My science teacher told me and so did my science book and so did almost all the sites i looked up. ;) ======================== I don't have enough of either one to be able to check it out, and I don't have a science book or a science teacher to consult. But the way I understand it, here's how you figure out the answer: -- The density of Mercury is 13.53 gm/cm3 -- The density of gold is 19.32 gm/cm3 -- So, unless you carefully shape the gold into a little tiny canoe, bass-boat, or cruise ship, that can displace a lot more volume than simply the volume of the nugget, it will sink in the mercury. The reason is: Because gold is more dense than mercury. It doesn't have to be 'much much denser'. It only has to be more dense.
