Which element is known as little silver?
mercury Sorry to say this is wrong; Mercury is not fool's silver, Platinum is what miners used to call fool's silver. Since Pt (Platinum ) and Ag (Silver) are very close in color and are both found in many of the same places. Pt is different and at the time it was named as such; had little use. Today platinum is more valuable, but still in limited production. Source: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DE4D61730F93AA25756C0A961948260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all
List 10 Pure Metals?
Any metal can be obtained ia very pure form; but if you want: mercury, gold, silver, uranium, platinum, copper, gallium, indium, beryllium, magnesium, aluminium.
Will silicon sink or float in water?
Silicon will sink in water because it has a higher density than water.
Is platinum magnetic?
No, platinum is not magnetic. It is a non-magnetic metal and does not exhibit magnetic properties.
What is the compound name of Hg2SO4?
The compound name of Hg2SO4 is mercury(I) sulfate.
Which element will sink in both water and mercury?
Any element denser than 1bout 13.5 g/cm^3 will sink in both water and mercury. Such elements include gold, platinum, tungsten, osmium, and uranium among others.
What substances will sink in mercury?
the solids that will float on liquid mercury are coal, ironware's or objects with lower specific density
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.
Is mercury sink or float if you placed in sea water?
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.
Does platinum float or sink?
This depends what you put it in. If you put platinum in water it will sink. Water has a density of 1 g/mLwhereas platinum has a density of about 21 g/mL. Substances that are more dense than the liquid it is submerged in 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)
Will cork sink or float in mercury?
Cork floats on mercury due to its low density compared to mercury. Mercury has a very high density, so most materials, including metals, will sink in it. Cork, being less dense, will float on the surface of mercury.
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.
Will mercury float in ethanol?
No, mercury is denser than ethanol, so it will sink and not float.
Can gold float on mercury?
Gold is a higher density than Mercury so it will sink if placed into a container of mercury.
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.
Does corn oil sink in mercury?
Yes, corn oil will sink in mercury. This is because corn oil has a lower density than mercury, which is much denser than water and most oils. Since mercury is a heavy metal, it will not mix with corn oil, leading to the oil floating on top rather than sinking. Therefore, corn oil will not sink in mercury; rather, it will remain buoyant.
