Would the mass on mercury float on water?
Mercury would not float on water. This is because the density of Mercury (5427kg/m3) is greater than the density of water (1000kg/m3).
Why does a piece of glass float in mercury but sinks in water?
B/c the density of mercury is higher than that of glass, while the density of water is lower than that of water.
Does liquid Mercury float in water?
No. Mercury is 12.5 times heavier than water. It goes straight to the bottom with no hesitation.
Will silver float in Mercury?
Steel don't float on water because the density of steel is greater than the density of water.
Does ice sink of float when placed in these liquids water alcohol mercury ice?
AnswerAs water freezes,what happens to the water molecules that causes ice to float?why is the unquie? My answer is that the ice has comes more dense n is light to float up then to sink down.I am no physicist, but I think ice is less dense than liquid water. After all, water expands when frozen (unique to H2O, I think?). Ice floats in water, of course. As far as pure alcohol, my best guess is that yes, it floats in alcohol, too. I have to say that ice will float on mercury due the great difference in the densities of the two substances (mercury being much more dense than ice).
Does a bowling balls float?
No, they are not bouyant. They won't float on water, but they will float on mercury.
Would the mass on mercury float on water?
Mercury would not float on water. This is because the density of Mercury (5427kg/m3) is greater than the density of water (1000kg/m3).
Would a quarter float in water?
It will sink in water, but it will float in mercury. Depends on what the liquid is.
Is mercury sink or float if you placed in sea water?
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury
The density of mercury is 5427 kgm3. If the density of water is 1.0 gmL will mercury float or sink in water?
1. The density of mercury is 13 534 kg/m3.2. Mercury sink in water.
Would water or liquid mercury float?
Water floats when it is turned into ice, because in this form it is less dense (it crystallizes, and the structure expands). It also can float in combinations of liquids, for example, it is less dense than liquid mercury, but more dense than oil, so it would 'float' on the mercury. Liquid mercury is very dense, and doesn't usually float on things.
Does Mercury float?
no, mercury is a substanable resource meaning non waterised substance so cannot float in water No, mercury is heavier than water. It can't float in water. It is actually a metal that is liquid at room temperature and for several degrees around that. That's why it's used in thermometers.
Would Mercury float or sink?
In water mercury would sink very quickly as it is very heavy. Keep in mind that part of mercury dissolves in water and is extremely poisonous.
Why does a piece of glass float in mercury but sinks in water?
B/c the density of mercury is higher than that of glass, while the density of water is lower than that of water.
Does liquid Mercury float in water?

Will silver float in Mercury?
Steel don't float on water because the density of steel is greater than the density of water.
