How do you make liquid Mercury to heard Mercury?

To convert liquid mercury to solid mercury, you need to cool it down to below its freezing point of -38.83 degrees Celsius (-37.89 degrees Fahrenheit). This can be achieved by placing the liquid mercury in a freezer or using a cooling bath. Once it reaches the freezing temperature, it will solidify into a solid form.
