there is no commercial value for Mercury
Mercury has a density of approximately 13.6 grams per milliliter.
no. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature under 1 atmosphere. And hydrogen, technically, is also a metal.
The only two elements that are liquid at standard conditions(32 degrees Fahrenheit, and 1 Atmosphere pressure) are both metals, they are bromine and Mercury. Gallium melts to a liquid at just above room temperature( it melts in your hand!) but it doesn't make the cutoff
It depends on the pressure. At standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm), elements such as Mercury and Bromine are liquid at 1000 degrees Celsius.
Science and industrial labs often use mercury filled barometers due to mercury's high density and low vapour pressure. This allows the barometers column of liquid to be less than 1 meter high (760 mm Hg=1 atmosphere). As an additional advantage the meniscus of the mercury is upwards at the center, unlike water, making accurate reading simpler. However mercury's toxic attributes make it hazardous if spilled, so mechanical diaphragm barometers are often used.
One pound of mercury is worth max. 8 USD for technical mercury.
1 lb is a mass or weight not currency
It is liquid.
about 3000
around 22,000
2 cups, if liquid 1 pound, if solid
A 1 pound Silver Eagle is worth about $200.
15,559.52 usd as of April 1 2012
1 lb worth of cups
$0.25-$1.00 a Pound!
Weight of 1 US Gallon of water = approx. 8.35 lb
1. Mercury is liquid at room temperature 2. It is a poison 3. Mercury vapour -gas that forms over liquid mercury is VERY toxic 4. Used for welding
