What else can I help you with?
The density of mercury is 5427 kgm3. If the density of water is 1.0 gmL will mercury float or sink in water?
Since the density of mercury (5427 kg/m³) is greater than the density of water (1000 kg/m³ or 1.0 g/cm³), mercury will sink in water. Objects with higher density than the fluid they are in will sink, while objects with lower density will float.
Would a quarter float in water?
It will sink in water, but it will float in mercury. Depends on what the liquid is.
Does copper wire sink or float?
A short piece may be supported by the surface tension of water, but a coil of copper wire would sink.
Does the element Iron float or sink in water?
Iron sinks in water because it is denser than water. The density of iron is about 7.87 g/cm^3, while the density of water is 1 g/cm^3. This difference in density causes iron to sink when placed in water.
Does a thumb tack float or sink?
Thumb tack sinks in water and floats in mercury.
Is mercury sink or float if you placed in sea water?
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.

Since the density of mercury (5427 kg/m³) is greater than the density of water (1000 kg/m³ or 1.0 g/cm³), mercury will sink in water. Objects with higher density than the fluid they are in will sink, while objects with lower density will float.
Would Mercury float or sink?
In water mercury would sink very quickly as it is very heavy. Keep in mind that part of mercury dissolves in water and is extremely poisonous.
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury
Does copper sink in water?
Copper does not sink in water.. An object with higher density than water sinks while an object with lower density than water floats..
What are 5 substances that sink in water?
Iron Lead Copper Steel Mercury
Would a quarter float in water?
It will sink in water, but it will float in mercury. Depends on what the liquid is.
Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?
A block of iron will float in mercury due to the higher density of iron compared to mercury. In water, the iron block will sink because the density of iron is higher than that of water. The buoyant force acting on the iron block is determined by the density of the surrounding fluid.
Does mercury sink?
In water it surely does. It is very dense.
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.
Does copper wire sink or float?
A short piece may be supported by the surface tension of water, but a coil of copper wire would sink.
Do wood in Mercury float?
No, wood would not float in mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal, much denser than water, so wood would sink in it.
