If you place an iron pyrite cube in Mercury it will produce about a millivolt of current in water. More in salt water or vinegar or free radicals. This is a completely unexplored way to generate free electricity. It is not due to galvanization since the cube is the dependent aspect. Take the cube out and the amperage disappears (slowly but surely over time). This indicates both a capacitance and current generating characteristic that is unique to the interaction of the cube and mercury and the water provides the connective volt potential (although a different medium would yield better results.

What page in the book The Outsiders tell the setting?

There is no page in "The Outsiders" that tells the setting. You have to infer. I happen to know that the book was placed in the 1960's in Luisiana, though.

What do you need to wire in a mercury vapor bulb?

The same procedure is used to wire a mercury vapour fixture as it is a normal home fixture. First the voltage source is needed and has to match the voltage that is on the nameplate of the mercury vapour fixture. The amperage of the fixture has to be taken into consideration, also taken from the fixtures nameplate. Once the amperage is known then the decision is whether one or more fixtures will be placed on the same circuit. When the total amperage is decided on, it will be that amperage that decides what size conductors will be used and what size breaker will be used to protect the circuit. Next decision is how you want to control the fixture. There are two methods depending on where the fixture will be placed. If it is outside then a photo cell with a bypass switch ahead of the cell is the most common configuration. If the fixture is an indoor type then just a wall switch will be used to control the fixture.

What will happen when wood is placed in mercury?

When wood is placed in mercury, nothing significant will happen as mercury is a relatively inert metal and will not react with the wood. The wood will simply float on the surface of the mercury due to the density difference between the two materials.

What happen to the mercury when the bulb placed in hot water?

When a thermometer bulb containing mercury is placed in hot water, the mercury inside expands, causing the level of mercury to rise. This expansion of mercury is used to measure the increase in temperature accurately.

What might happen to a heated beaker made from glass that does not contain boron if the beaker were placed in a pan of iced water?

Without boron, the glass beaker may not be able to withstand sudden temperature changes and could shatter due to thermal shock when placed in iced water. This is because borosilicate glass, which contains boron, has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion and is better suited for rapid temperature changes.


How does is the temperature of beaker measure in water?

The temperature of a beaker is typically measured using a thermometer that is placed in the water inside the beaker. The thermometer will provide a reading of the water temperature, which indirectly reflects the temperature of the beaker as well.


What will happen if you kept the twigs of hydrilla in a beaker filled with water?

Hydrilla is an aquatic plant which means that it naturally grows in water. If one placed hydrilla twigs in a beaker of water, the twigs would begin to sprout roots and would eventually grow leaves if the environment was conducive to growth.


A nugget of gold is placed in a graduated cylinder that contains 85 mL of water The water level rises to 225 mL after the nugget is added to the cylinder What is the volume of the gold nugget?

The volume of the gold nugget can be calculated by finding the difference in volume before and after adding the nugget. The volume of the gold nugget is 225 mL (final volume) - 85 mL (initial volume) = 140 mL.


A nugget of gold is placed in a graduated cylinder that contains 80 ml of water the water level rises to 225 ml after the nugget is added to the cylinder what is the volume of the gold nugget?

The volume of the gold nugget can be calculated by subtracting the final volume (225 ml) from the initial volume (80 ml) of water in the graduated cylinder. Therefore, the volume of the gold nugget is 145 ml.
