the metal is platinum
When an alloy contains mercury as a component metal, it is mainly referred to as an amalgam. Amalgams are commonly used in dental fillings due to their ability to be easily shaped and their durability.
Under ordinary conditions most metals will diffuse a little but generally speaking Tantalum, Platinum, Iron, Tungsten, Niobium and maybe molybdenum will not form Amalgam, essentially any metal with a very high cohesive energy, so possibly Rhenium, Technetium, Osmium etc
An amalgam is a metal alloy, which is a mixture.
Sodium amalgam is produced by dissolving sodium metal in mercury. This amalgam can be used in organic synthesis reactions as a reducing agent. When sodium amalgam reacts with water, it produces hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide.
Yes, amalgams are homogeneous.Amalgam [note correct spelling] is usually a homogenous mixture. An amalgam is a solid alloy of mercury, the only metal element that is liquid at standard temperature and pressure, with some other metal.
The name of the metal that forms an amalgam with other metals is mercury. Mercury can form alloys, known as amalgams, with many metals such as gold, silver, and tin.
An amalgam is prepared by mixing mercury with a metal.
Mercury(Hg) and Aluminum(Al) form a mercury amalgam at room temperature
When an alloy contains mercury as a component metal, it is mainly referred to as an amalgam. Amalgams are commonly used in dental fillings due to their ability to be easily shaped and their durability.
"Amalgam" means a solution with mercury metal as the solvent and another metal (pretty much anything but iron, which won't amalgamate) as the solute. So...mercury is the main component of amalgam.
Under ordinary conditions most metals will diffuse a little but generally speaking Tantalum, Platinum, Iron, Tungsten, Niobium and maybe molybdenum will not form Amalgam, essentially any metal with a very high cohesive energy, so possibly Rhenium, Technetium, Osmium etc
An amalgam of mercury with another metal. Amalgam as used in teeth with such metals as silver, copper, tin, zinc or indium being mixed with mercury
silver amalgam
An amalgam is a metal alloy, which is a mixture.
Sodium amalgam is produced by dissolving sodium metal in mercury. This amalgam can be used in organic synthesis reactions as a reducing agent. When sodium amalgam reacts with water, it produces hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide.
The mixture of a metal dissolved in mercury is known as an amalgam. Amalgams are commonly used in dentistry for dental fillings and in some industrial applications for their unique properties like low melting point and good electrical conductivity.
Yes, mercury can dissolve Aluminium by forming an amalgam.
