Do rocks float on mercury?
No, rocks are denser than mercury, so they would sink in mercury. Mercury is a very dense liquid at room temperature, so objects that are less dense than mercury will float on it.
Would a polypropylene float on mercury?
Yes, polypropylene would float on mercury due to its lower density compared to mercury. Polypropylene has a density of around 0.9 g/cm³, while mercury has a density of about 13.6 g/cm³, making polypropylene less dense and causing it to float on mercury.
Does mercury float on water?
No, it sinks.
Would the mass on mercury float on water?
Mercury would not float on water. This is because the density of Mercury (5427kg/m3) is greater than the density of water (1000kg/m3).
Does liquid Mercury float in water?
Yes, liquid mercury does float in water because it is denser than water. This means that the weight of the mercury displaces an equal weight of water, causing it to float on the surface.
Can nickel float on liquid Mercury?
Yes, nickel can float on liquid mercury because the density of nickel is lower than that of mercury. This means that nickel will not sink when placed on liquid mercury, and instead will float on its surface.
Will lead sik or float in mercury?
it will float
Will mercury float in ethanol?
No, mercury is denser than ethanol, so it will sink and not float.
Can iron float in any liquid?
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
Will wood float on mercury?
Yes, wood will float on mercury because mercury is much denser than wood. The density of mercury is about 13.6 times greater than that of wood, so wood will not sink in mercury and will actually float on its surface.
Does a bowling balls float?
No, they are not bouyant. They won't float on water, but they will float on mercury.
Does cork sink or float in mercury?
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.

Does mercury float on liquid paraffin?
No.
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.
