Would a block of aluminum float or sink in a pool of mercury at room temperature with a density of 13.6?
A block of aluminum will float on a pool of mercury at nearly any temperature (except at extremely elevated temperatures (above 350 °C) where mercury is no longer liquid) The density of aluminum is 2.70 grams per cm3, whereas the density of mercury is 13.53 grams per cm3. Therefore mercury is more than 5 time more dense than aluminum! Anything that is less dense than a liquid will float in that liquid. Not only would aluminum float but it float with only 1/5 of it's volume submerged.
If you drop a piece of lead into a pool of mercury will it sink or float?
Lead would float in mercury, as it is slightly less dense. (11.3 g/cc for lead, 13.5 g/cc for mercury)
Will a block of aluminum sink in a pool of water?
Aluminium is 2.7 times denser than water. When in water it will sink below the surface, being more dense. Another way to look at the problem is to say that the aluminum, on displacing its own volume of water, will receive upthrust equal to the weight of water displaced and will thus seem lighter. As the upthrust will be less than the weight of the block, it will not be sufficient to cause the block to float.
Do pool thermometers contain mercury?
Some pool thermometers do contain mercury, but there are alternatives available that use different substances like alcohol or digital sensors. If you are concerned about the presence of mercury in a pool thermometer, look for options that explicitly state they are mercury-free.
Why can't I float in a pool?
You can't float in a pool because the density of your body is greater than the density of water, causing you to sink instead of float.
What if you die in the pool?
you float...
Is it better to float in a pool or a ocean?
a ocean because the salt water makes you float and a pool water doesn't.
Can rocks float?
Pumice floats in water, but for other rocks you'd need to find a fluid that's more dense than the rocks to float them in. For example, mercury is almost 6 times as dense as granite, so a lump or slab of granite will ride right up there high in a pool of mercury.
Why is the pool good for your muscels?
because u swim in the pool and it relaxes Ur body when u float on a float! DA!
How can I make a pool float using household items?
You can make a pool float using household items by using inflatable pool toys, pool noodles, or even large plastic containers. Just make sure they are sturdy and can float safely in the water.
Where do you use pool float?
In the pool, or in any large body of water.
If you were to walk over a pool of mercury would you sink?
You are way less dense than mercury, so you would actually float. However, you would also probably get a lot of heavy metal poisoning and nervous system abnormalities.
