Metallic Mercury in water can be dispersed into the water column in several forms;
* Metallic mercury as colloidal dispersions * Soluble mercury salts resulting from the reaction of mercury with chlorides or sulfates * Methylated mercury from the action of aquatic bacteria on metallic mercury * As a contaminant in any of the above forms on soil particles in the water
Methylated mercury is easily taken up by the food chain and can accumulate in predatory fish.
Eventually mercury in the water is deposited with sediments into the bottom of watercourse and will be isolated by subsequent siltation.
H2O as you know is hydrogen and oxygen. and how we would determen what would happen if they where mixed is look at there Atomic Mass. and there orbitals. oxygen has an atomic mass of 16 and hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1. so H2O has an atomic mass of 18. mercury has an atomic mass of 200. so the answer to your question is water will sit ontop of mercury. because it is much much heaver
yes
mercury is more dense than water and therefory in sinks.
Also because it is more dense gravity's fore of attraction is more than it is on the less dense water
You will need to provide more details as mercury Is a metal
No, water and mercury do not mix. Remember that metallic mercury is an extremely dense liquid, about twice as dense as iron. It sinks very rapidly, if you put it in water.
it will polute the water
no it dosent
Thermometers are the instrument that is often filled with mercury, colored water, or alcohol. Most early thermometers were made with mercury.
(most dense to least dense) gold, mercury, water, oxygen
There's no such thing as "mercury vacuum". A volume of space can have solid mercury, liquid mercury, or mercury vapor in it, or it can be a vacuum. The weight of the "standard atmosphere" on any area is the same as the weight of a column of mercury 29.92 inches high on that same area, with no air above the mercury.
A barometer using water,would need to be 13.6 times taller than a mercury barometer to obtain the same pressure difference. This is because mercury is 13.6 times more dense than water.
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcoholic thermometer
The water will be really hot.
The answer is: when it is kept so the mercury level in the tube increases showing the temperature
Since water is lighter than mercury, this means the height will differ. The denser (high relative density) the fluid, the shorter the height. If the fuild is light such as water its height will be much higher than that of mercury. Also, the denser the material is the higher the pressure.
No. there is not enough water on Mercury.
1% of Mercury is water.
Yes it is. Do not play with mercury!
mercury explodes
The medical answer is that you risk your life with Hg (mercury) poisoning. It feels not as cool as water; it makes your hand feel light (buoyancy). Although how I know that, I won't tell.
mercury
no, water is lighter than mercury
Mercury chloride is soluble in water.
Mercury form droplets.
