Mercury I think
From the physics point of view:
any liquid that has a Density higher than Lead will allow Lead to float on it.
This is why if you make Custard at just the right consistency using a specific type of flour with a specific flour to custard ratio and fill a swimming pool with the mix you could walk across it with out sinking. The reason I am not going to give specific instructions on how to do this is because if you get the custard mix right it acts a bit like quick sand if you stop moving. Once you stand still on it you start to sink and the custard mix will hold you in the swimming pool as you sink. It could be very dangerous. So no specific instruction on how that can be done, just that it is possible. That said That same mix of custard will also allow lead to float.
What else can I help you with?
Can nickel float on liquid Mercury?
Yes, nickel can float on liquid mercury because the density of nickel is lower than that of mercury. This means that nickel will not sink when placed on liquid mercury, and instead will float on its surface.
What liquid does gold float on?
Gold can float on water if there's a layer of oil on the surface. To break the surface tension, a drop of Dawn soap will do the trick.
How can you make dice float?
To make dice float, you can use a dense liquid like saltwater or oil in a container and gently place the dice on top. The buoyant force of the liquid will make the dice float.
Does lead float on alcohol?
No.Lead has a very high density and will not float in alcohol
Would a quarter float in water?
It will sink in water, but it will float in mercury. Depends on what the liquid is.
Does lead float or sink in liquid mercury?
Lead will sink in liquid mercury because lead is denser than mercury. Mercury is a heavy liquid metal, so most metals will sink when placed in it.
Will a boat float on liquid soap?
Yes the boat will float on liquid soap
Why do object flout or sink?
If it is heaver than water (or what ever liquid you put it in) it will sink. Lead will sink. A cork will float.
What is a liquid that makes things float?
It is quite common for various things to float in water. But any liquid can cause things to float.
Can you float on Pluto?
You can't float but you can fly. (Floating implies liquid, and Pluto has no liquid that we know of).
Can iron float in any liquid?
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
What Is the relationship between density of a liquid and the objects that float or sink in the liquid?
An object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.
How do you tell which liquid will float on top of the other?
This is found out by knowing the densities of the liquids in question. The liquid with the smaller density will always be on top, while the liquid with the higher density will be at the bottom.
Will lead sik or float in mercury?
it will float
Comparing the what of an object with that of a liquid will tell you whether or not the object will float in that liquid?
Comparing the density of an object with that of a liquid will determine whether the object will float or sink in the liquid. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink.
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)
How is density used to determine if a material will float or sink in a liquid?
Density is used to determine if a material will float or sink in a liquid by comparing the density of the material to the density of the liquid. If the material has a greater density than the liquid, it will sink. If the material has a lower density than the liquid, it will float. Objects float when they displace an amount of liquid equal to their own weight.
