No, it sinks.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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).
Will silver float in Mercury?
Yes, silver would float in mercury because silver is less dense than mercury. This means that silver would displace an amount of mercury equal to its own weight, allowing it to float on top of the mercury.
Can a normal human float in mercury?
No, a normal human would not be able to float in mercury. Mercury is about 13.6 times denser than water, making it extremely dense and heavy. The human body would sink in mercury due to its high density.
Does ice sink of float when placed in these liquids water alcohol mercury ice?
AnswerAs water freezes,what happens to the water molecules that causes ice to float?why is the unquie? My answer is that the ice has comes more dense n is light to float up then to sink down.I am no physicist, but I think ice is less dense than liquid water. After all, water expands when frozen (unique to H2O, I think?). Ice floats in water, of course. As far as pure alcohol, my best guess is that yes, it floats in alcohol, too. I have to say that ice will float on mercury due the great difference in the densities of the two substances (mercury being much more dense than ice).
Does a bowling balls float?
No, they are not bouyant. They won't float on water, but they will float on mercury.
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.
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).
Is mercury sink or float if you placed in sea water?
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.
Would a quarter float in water?
It will sink in water, but it will float in mercury. Depends on what the liquid is.
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.
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury
Will silver float in Mercury?
Yes, silver would float in mercury because silver is less dense than mercury. This means that silver would displace an amount of mercury equal to its own weight, allowing it to float on top of the mercury.
Would water or liquid mercury float?
Water floats when it is turned into ice, because in this form it is less dense (it crystallizes, and the structure expands). It also can float in combinations of liquids, for example, it is less dense than liquid mercury, but more dense than oil, so it would 'float' on the mercury. Liquid mercury is very dense, and doesn't usually float on things.
Does Mercury float?
no, mercury is a substanable resource meaning non waterised substance so cannot float in water No, mercury is heavier than water. It can't float in water. It is actually a metal that is liquid at room temperature and for several degrees around that. That's why it's used in thermometers.
Can a normal human float in mercury?
No, a normal human would not be able to float in mercury. Mercury is about 13.6 times denser than water, making it extremely dense and heavy. The human body would sink in mercury due to its high density.
Can you make metal float?
You can't make a bar of metal float on water, but boats with metal hulls float. Also, metal bars and other metal objects float on mercury.
