How well does mercury conduct heat?
Mercury is a good conductor of heat. Unfortunately, heat will produce vapor which is toxic.
What are the advantages of mercury as a thermometeric liquid?
As mercury has a low specific heat yet is a good conductor of heat it has been the choice for thermometers. The ease of reading is due to the fact that the mercury does not wet the walls of the glass.
Is mercury a better conductor of heat than glass?
No, it is not. The best thermal conductor among the metals is silver, and it is the best electrical conductor as well. There is a general "rule" in the natural world that thermal and electrical conductivity are proportionate among metals; they "track" together. If a metal is a better thermal conductor than another metal, it will be a better electrical conductor as well. It should be noted that the best thermal conductor of all known materials is the allotrope of carbon we call diamond. Interestingly, diamond is an electrical insulator.
What are some metallic properties?
high melting and boiling point, good conductor of electricity and heat, solid at room temperature (except mercury)
Is gas a good conductor of heat?
No, gas is not a good conductor of heat. Gases are poor conductors of heat because their molecules are widely spaced and they do not have a fixed structure like solid materials that allow for efficient heat transfer.
Is mercury good conductor of heta?
No. Mercury is a poor conductor of heat.
Is mercury a best conductor of heat?
Yes, mercury is a good conductor of heat but it is not the best conductor. Metals like copper and silver are better conductors of heat than mercury.
What is a good conductor of heat in liquid?
mercury
How well does mercury conduct heat?
Mercury is a good conductor of heat. Unfortunately, heat will produce vapor which is toxic.
Mercury a good conductor?
All metals are heat conductors; mercury is not a special case.
Mercury good conductor of heat?
All metals are heat conductors; mercury is not special (8,3 W/m.K).
Mercury is a good conductor of heat or not?
All metals are heat conductors; mercury is not special (8,3 W/m.K).
Why mercury is used instead of bad conductor of heat?
Mercury is a poor conductor of heat.
Is mecury a good conductor of heat?
Yes, Mercury is a good conductor of heat. It has a high thermal conductivity due to its metallic properties, allowing it to efficiently transfer heat.
Is the Mercury is the best conductor of heat?
It's not, there are materials that are better, like diamond.
Is mercury or Hg a good or poor conductor?
Mercury is a metal and a good conductor.
Is mercury a conductor of heat?
yes
