in Mercury the molecules are closser with respect to the molecular structure of the water. so when both of them are heated , there will be more molecular collision in mercury than in water. that's why , when both of them are heated to the same extend mercury produces more heat than water.

When a substance is heated it must gain electrons and energy?
Yes, it gains kinetic energy, for instance, when water is heated into water vapours the molecules of water vapour move faster than the molecules of water. This is because the water vapour has more kinetic energy than water.
Does stripnall evaporate faster than water?
Does strip-n-all evaporate faster than water
Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?
The density of mercury is much greater than that of water, so the nail will not sink. The density of the nail is less than that of mercury and greater than that for water, so it sinks in the water.
Why mercury has high surface tension?
If you have a large jar filled with mercury and a small jar filled with water, then the mercury has more volume than the water. If the water is in the large jar, then the water has more volume than the mercury.
Why does oil flow faster when hot?
Because when most things in nature are heated the particles tend to move faster according to the kinetic molecular theory. The particles gain energy and move faster expanding the liquid as well as making it more fluid.
If water was boiled an a saucepan would water be evaportated faster or slower than water that is not heated?
it would be faster
Why do rocks get heated and cooled faster than water?
Because they are more hollow.
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.
Is land heats faster than water because only its surface is heated true or false?
Yes...
Will a bottle of water freeze faster than a bottle of water heated up?
yes because the warm water takes longer to diffuse its heat
When the sun's rays strike land and water do they heat up as fast as each other?
no ,land gets heated faster than water.
What will happen to a drop of food coloring when added to a cup of heated water?
The food coloring will spread throughout the water and become homogeneous faster than it would in cold or warm water. The food coloring would also mix evenly with the water faster if you stirred the water after adding the food coloring. This happens because the molecules are moving faster when they are heated up stirred.
Do liquids expand faster when heated than solid?
no
Which container of water will be heated faster the one with more water or the one with lesser water?
=the one with less water because there is a less amount of liquid to heat up, so it would be heated up the quickest rather than the cup with more water.=
When a substance is heated it must gain electrons and energy?
Yes, it gains kinetic energy, for instance, when water is heated into water vapours the molecules of water vapour move faster than the molecules of water. This is because the water vapour has more kinetic energy than water.
How do you explain that dry ice sublimate faster in heated vegetable oil than in heated water?
The oil is thicker. The thicker oil holds its temperature longer. It resists change. The water, being thinner, changes temperature faster. Therefore, the dry-ice is in a hotter environment longer, which allows the reaction at a higher rate than the water after is has cooled a degree or more.
Is Mercury heavier than water?
Yes it is. Do not play with mercury!
