Yes.

The melting point of lead is 327.46 °C.

The temperature of lava is definitely greater than that. hence it can melt lead.

Is mercury hot enough to melt lead?

If you mean the chemical element Mercury, then no; mercury and lead are separate elements. At high enough temperatures, they can be melted together, but because mercury is liquid at room temperature they probably wouldn't stay combined.If you mean whether the planet Mercury contains the element lead, then the answer is that it almost certainly does. The core of Mercury is dense and metallic, and lead (like all elements up through uranium) was present at the formation of the solar system.


Which solid will melt before mercury boils?

Ice will melt before mercury boils. Ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius while mercury boils at 356.7 degrees Celsius.


Can the planet mercury melt mercury?

yes because the planet Mercury is the second hottest planet in the solar system[after Venus] .Comment: It's not too difficult to melt mercury. The element mercury isliquid at room temperature on Earth, or anywhere else if it gets warmerthan about negative 38 degrees.


What happens if you go on mercury?

You will die!


What is the surface temp on mercury?

Because it is so close to the Sun and has almost no atmosphere, the side facing away from the Sun is very cold (-170 Celsius, -275 Fahrenheit) and the side facing it gets very hot (450 Celsius, 840 Fahrenheit). In case you were wondering, it is hot enough to melt lead, but only when it's facing the Sun enough. And Venus can melt lead anywhere (all year) because it's extremely dense atmosphere traps the heat in a greenhouse effect. These are the only two planets that can melt lead.

Does metallic have a high melting point?

Not all of them. Mercury is liquid at room temperature. Bismuth and lead melt at relatively low temperatures.

What is the 2nd hotest planet?

Venus is the second hottest planet in our solar system, after Mercury. It has a thick atmosphere that traps heat, leading to surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.


Which planet 's surface's is hot enough to melt lead?

the hottest planet is not the planet nearest to the sun, which is mercury. it is venus, the second nearest. it is very hot on venus because, unlike mercury, venus has an atmosphere. the atmosphere acts rather like the windows in a greenhouse, and helps to heat the surface of the planet. the temperature there is about 900 degrees, which i shot enough to melt several metals.


Does planet Mercury melted?

Mercury only takes 88 days to go around the sun but if it is closest to the Sun it could melt a little bit. Scientists believe that Mercury in future will melt and will die. I don't know. People will see Mercury through telescopes but it is nearly smaller then Pluto!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MERCURY DOES MELT!!!!!!!!!!

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.
