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
Why does a pebble sink on water and a piece of wood doesn't?
The pebble is heavier than water so it sinks. The wood isn't heavier than water so it floats.
Is moist air heavier or lighter than dry air?
Moist air is heavier than dry air, because of the water.
Ice is heavier than water or not?
Ice is lighter (less dense) than water. Which is why ice can float on the surface of water.
How does hot and cold water separate?
that happens because cold water is heavier than hot water.
What is heavier than water but lighter than mercury?
salted water
Mercury has a higher density than water.Does the molecules of mercury is heavier than molecule of water?
Scientists found out and then proved it.
Does liquid Mercury float in water?
No. Mercury is 12.5 times heavier than water. It goes straight to the bottom with no hesitation.
Why mercury weigh more than water?
13.7 times more. Because the atoms of mercury are heavier (more massive) than the molecules of water AND they're closer together.
What is Mercury's nickname and why?
Mercury is nicknamed 'quicksilver' because, at room temperature, Mercury is a silver-colored liquid that is heavier than water. For this reason, Mercury rolls faster than water and is attracted to itself more quickly.
Why doesn't 10mL of mercury have the same density a 10mL of water?
Because 1 mole of Mercury (80g) is more than four times heavier than 1 mole of water (18g).
Do liquids have different masses?
Yes it depends on their molecular structures. Mercury is a liquid, but it is much heavier than water.
Is gasoline heavier than mercury?
No. Mercury is a liquid metal and is more dense.
Is mercury heavier than copper?
Yes ..mercury ie heavies then lead
Does the molecules of mercury is heavier than molecule of water?
If you understand what molecular weight (MW or FW) means, then look at the molecular weight of one molecule of mercury (Hg2) and compare that to the molecular weight of an H2O molecule.Which is heavier?
What liquid is heavier than syrup?
honey, 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.
