Yes, some alternatives to Mercury in certain applications include gallium-based liquids or silicon oils. These substitutes offer similar properties such as high density and low vapor pressure but with less toxicity concerns. However, their use is limited to specific industries due to their different characteristics.
What else can I help you with?
Is there liquid Mercury in iPods?
no there is not liquid mercury in ipods. one its un safe, and 2 theres no purpose for it in these devices
What liquid used to be in thermometers?
Most thermometers used to contain Mercury until it was found to be toxic.
Why can't absorption spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction be used to detect liquid elemental mercury?
Liquid mercury has not a spectrum of absorption in visible light; diffraction is not used for chemical analysis.
Why can't Mercury be used to make water pipes?
Mercury is a liquid at room temperature. Tricky to build stuff of liquids.
What are the pros of living on mercury?
Mercury is the only metal which is a liquid at room temperature.One pro is that it conducts electricity well and is often used for electrical switches.It is also used for refining gold.One major con is that it is toxic. It is most dangerous when it is airborne.
Which liquid is used in thermometers along with mercury?
What is the new liquid used in athermometer than mercury?
What is liquid metal was used in thermometersr?
Mercury is a liquid metal used in thermometers. However, it becomes a solid at -37.9 F and it can cause mercury poisoning if ingested or inhaled. Therefore, most theremometers use ethyl-alcohol or a plastic strip covered with liquid crystals (called a liquid crystal thermometer).
What element is liquid metal used in the thermometers?
Mercury is the element commonly used in liquid-in-glass thermometers.
What liquid metal is most commonly used in thermometer?
The liquid metal in many thermometer is mercury (Hg).
What element is used in a barometer?
Barometers can use any liquid. A dense liquid that makes for a short column at room temperature, is mercury.
What liquid is inside a filament transformer?
The predominate liquid used inside a filament transformer is mercury. Mercury is used to keep the transformer cool when under heavy use. Mercury is a cheap and long lasting liquid.
How is mercury the special liquid used?
it can be used in therometres
What is a poisonous liquid that can be used in dental materials if mixed with other metals?
Anything can be poisonous and/or a liquid. However, the most common such metal is mercury.
What liquid is inside thermometers?
If the liquid is silver, it is liquid mercury (Hg). If the liquid is red, it is coloured ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH).
What is the most dense liquid substance?
The densest liquid substance is mercury. It has a high density compared to other liquids, which makes it commonly used in barometers and thermometers.
Why is that mercury is used in thermometer?
Mercury is used in thermometers because mercury is the only liquid metal in room temperature. Hence our body temperature is observed by melting the liquid metal mercury due to our body temperature.
Is there liquid Mercury in iPods?
no there is not liquid mercury in ipods. one its un safe, and 2 theres no purpose for it in these devices
