Is Mercury a gas a solid or a liquid?
Known as a liquid but obviously it can be all three. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature, it will solidify if you make cold enough, -40 C and be gas if you make it hot enough, +357 C. It expands and contracts easily in this liquid form, which is why old thermometers used it.
Why can a liquid mercury thermometer only be used between -40 and 360?
Because those are the freezing point and boiling point of mercury. Once past those, the mercury will no linger expand or contract in a proportional way to the temperature changes.
Does Mercury melt easily?
Mercury is liquid at room temperature so it is already "melted" Of course! Mercury is the stuff in thermometers, which (as you know) is liquid. If you've ever broken a thermometer you would have seen the mercury form droplets on the ground (I don't recommend you try this though, it is harmful). Mercury's melting point is in fact -40C. What this means is that any temperature higher than 40-below-freezing is hot enough for mercury to melt.
What time is 1240 am?
Its 40 minutes past 12 in the night, i.e. 40 minutes past midnight
Which of the following isotopes would most likely be unstable and therefore radioactive helium-3 calcium-40 molybdenum-98 mercury-194?
Mercury-194
Who created the liquid in glass thermometer?
The two most common liquids used in glass thermometers are mercury and alcohol, both of which were created by M. Nature. Alcohol thermometers are, or were, used in extremely cold areas like the Yukon, where the temperature could be expected to drop lower than -40 in the winter (-40 is where mercury freezes, and it is also the only temperature that is exactly the same on both Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers).
Does 6 go into 40?
nope it cant because it only goes up to 42 not 40 it goes past 40 :)
You are a metal and a liquid?
You are mercury. Mercury has a low melting point (~-40*C), so under standard conditions it is in a liquid state. It falls under the transition metals group on the periodic table. It's commonly used in thermometers.
At what temperatures will the readings on the Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers be the same?
At -40 degrees.

What only metal is liquid at room temp?
Mercury is the only common metal that takes the form of liquid at room temperature. There is not "only" one metal at room temperature, depending on how you define room temperature.Metals liquid at room temperature (25 0C)mercuryMetals liquid at temperature 30 - 40 0CFranciumCesiumGalliumRubidiumMercury is sometimes referred to as "quick silver," and its chemical abbreviation, Hg, is derived from the Latin word for it, which means "liquid silver."
What temperature Fahrenheit and celsius thermometers would read as the same number?
negative 40 degrees
Which of the temperature that Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers would read as the same number?
-40c (apex)
Which is the temperature that Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers would read as the same number?
-40C is equal to -40F. F=C9/5+32.you can get it by this.
