Will a block of ice sink in mercury metal?
No, the density of water ice (0.92) is far below that of mercury (13.6) and so the ice will float on liquid mercury. Even iron density 7.85) and copper (8.73) and lead (11.3) will float on mercury but gold (density 19.6) sinks!
Is mercury sink or float if you placed in sea water?
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.
Does lead float or sink in liquid mercury?
Lead floats in mercury.
Do ice cubes in water float or sink?
They float, as ice is less dense than water.
Can iron float in any liquid?
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
Would a quarter float in water?
It will sink in water, but it will float in mercury. Depends on what the liquid is.
What are some things that can float and sink?
ice
Does cork sink or float in mercury?
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.
Does ice sink of float when placed in these liquids water alcohol mercury ice?
AnswerAs water freezes,what happens to the water molecules that causes ice to float?why is the unquie? My answer is that the ice has comes more dense n is light to float up then to sink down.I am no physicist, but I think ice is less dense than liquid water. After all, water expands when frozen (unique to H2O, I think?). Ice floats in water, of course. As far as pure alcohol, my best guess is that yes, it floats in alcohol, too. I have to say that ice will float on mercury due the great difference in the densities of the two substances (mercury being much more dense than ice).
Does a lump of iron float?
Solid iron will float in liquid Mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
What happens when you place an ice cube in a beaker of water does it float or sink?
float dua
Can gold float on mercury?
Gold is a higher density than Mercury so it will sink if placed into a container of mercury.
