What would happen if you placed a nugget of iron pyrite into a beaker of mercury?

If you place an iron pyrite cube in Mercury it will produce about a millivolt of current in water. More in salt water or vinegar or free radicals. This is a completely unexplored way to generate free electricity. It is not due to galvanization since the cube is the dependent aspect. Take the cube out and the amperage disappears (slowly but surely over time). This indicates both a capacitance and current generating characteristic that is unique to the interaction of the cube and mercury and the water provides the connective volt potential (although a different medium would yield better results.

What page in the book The Outsiders tell the setting?

If the water lilly was placed in an area with permanent water. it would probably do fine. Without water, however, it would quickly die.
What do you need to wire in a mercury vapor bulb?
The same procedure is used to wire a mercury vapour fixture as it is a normal home fixture. First the voltage source is needed and has to match the voltage that is on the nameplate of the mercury vapour fixture. The amperage of the fixture has to be taken into consideration, also taken from the fixtures nameplate. Once the amperage is known then the decision is whether one or more fixtures will be placed on the same circuit. When the total amperage is decided on, it will be that amperage that decides what size conductors will be used and what size breaker will be used to protect the circuit. Next decision is how you want to control the fixture. There are two methods depending on where the fixture will be placed. If it is outside then a photo cell with a bypass switch ahead of the cell is the most common configuration. If the fixture is an indoor type then just a wall switch will be used to control the fixture.
What might happen to a heated beaker made from glass that does not contain boron if the beaker were placed in a pan of iced water?
The beaker has a high chance of shattering.

What will happen if you kept the twigs of hydrilla in a beaker filled with water?
Hydrilla is an aquatic plant which means that it naturally grows in water. If one placed hydrilla twigs in a beaker of water, the twigs would begin to sprout roots and would eventually grow leaves if the environment was conducive to growth.
