A physicist's answer. Archimedes principle: It would displace either it's volume of Mercury (if the specific gravity (SG) of mercury is less than that of gold...which I think it is and there were enough mercury for the gold to completely submerge the gold, i.e it sinks to the bottom) OR it would displace it's weight of mercury (assuming the SG of mercury is greater than that of gold...which I doubt, again assuming sufficient mercury in the container, i.e. it floats).

Also, amalgamation of the gold and mercury will take place over time.

I'm not sure what voltaic phenomenon might occur.

If the piece is marked 925 but looks like gold, that means that the piece is sterling dipped in gold, usually 14K but that can vary. The piece is now considered vermeil, meaning sterling silver dipped in gold. The correct pronunciation of vermeil is "vermay".


If the two equal weight of unequal volume are balanced in air what will happen when these are completely dipped in water?

The object with the larger volume will displace more water when dipped in water, making it more buoyant. As a result, the balance will be disrupted, and the larger volume object will float while the smaller volume object will sink.
