Does a lump of iron float?
Solid iron will float in liquid Mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
If you drop a piece of lead into a pool of mercury will it sink or float?
Lead would float in mercury, as it is slightly less dense. (11.3 g/cc for lead, 13.5 g/cc for 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!
How can you use density of an objectto predict whether it will float or sink?
if the object is more dense the liquid it is in it will sink. if it is less dense than the liquid it is in it will float
How can one predict whether an object will float or sink in a liquid?
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
Can iron float in any liquid?
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.

Is mercury sink or float if you placed in sea water?
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.
If you place a solid in a liquid will ether sink?
That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.
Would a ride of solid silver sink or float in liquid silver?
sink
How can you use density of an objectto predict whether it will float or sink?
if the object is more dense the liquid it is in it will sink. if it is less dense than the liquid it is in it will float
