What allows mercury to dissolve in water?
Mercury dissolves in water due to its ability to form amalgamates. The low solubility of elemental mercury in water limits its dissolution, but it can form complexes with other compounds present in water. The dissolved mercury ions form stable complexes, allowing it to dissolve and become dispersed in the water.
URGENT why do you use mercury in barometers and not water?
At lower temperatures water will freeze and mercury will not.
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 mercury has high surface tension?
If you have a large jar filled with mercury and a small jar filled with water, then the mercury has more volume than the water. If the water is in the large jar, then the water has more volume than the mercury.
How is Mercury filtered out of water?
Better Question: How is mercury separated from water?As it has a lower boiling point than mercury, the water can be evaporated at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit), leaving the mercury behind. Be careful not to continue heating, as it will cause some mercury to evaporate. Alternatively, since mercury is heavier than water, it will sink to the bottom, allowing you to pour the water off the top.
Is there enough water on Mercury to live there?
No. there is not enough water on Mercury.
What percent of the planet Mercury is water?
1% of Mercury is water.
Is Mercury heavier than water?
Yes it is. Do not play with mercury!
Which is denser water or Mercury?
mercury
Are the volumes of mercury and water the same?
no, water is lighter than mercury
Is mercury(I) chloride soluble in water?
Mercury chloride is soluble in water.
Does mercury exert more pressure than water?
mercury exerts more pressure than water bcause mercury is a metal and water is a non metal obviously mercury weighs more than water
How many liters of water are in a liter of mercury?
None. The question is misguided. Mercury is mercury, and doesn't contain water.
Dies Mercury have air and water?
No. Mercury has neither air nor water.
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.
Why mercury burns upwards but water burns downwards?
Mercury and water don't burn.
Does water or Mercury have greater surface tension?
mercury
