It depends on what was spilled. Milk? Chemicals? Oil? The first thing to do is to contain the spill. This is important from milk to Oil. If you don't keep it from spreading, your problems will increase. If it is a chemical, look for the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) information on the package. They will give you a toll free number to call. They will give you information about the chemical and what to do in case of an emergency. Good luck. Remember, Don't cry over spilled milk.

Please do not answer if you are quessing. I see many wrong answers on this site. Galileo does not have mercury in it. It is water and a light weight petroleum mixure. Also, glass thermometers no longer have mercury.
Yes, Mercurochrome contains mercury in the form of merbromin. However, it is no longer widely used due to concerns about the safety and toxicity of mercury.
It depends on the context. High electrical conductivity in liquids can be good for efficient transmission of electricity (as in electrolytes or conductive solutions), but it can also be bad if it poses a safety hazard (such as in the case of spilled water near electrical devices).
If gasoline is spilled on the floor, it can create a flammable and hazardous situation due to its high volatility. It can evaporate quickly, releasing harmful vapors that are flammable and can pose health risks. It is important to clean it up immediately using appropriate safety measures to prevent accidents or fires.
Volume of mercury spilled can be calculated by dividing the mass spilled by the density of mercury. The mass spilled is 7.8 g, and the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL. Therefore, the volume spilled would be 7.8 g / 13.6 g/mL = 0.5735 mL.

If a thermometer containing mercury breaks, it is important to carefully clean up the spilled mercury to prevent exposure. Avoid touching the mercury with bare hands and use gloves to carefully collect the spilled beads. Ventilate the area well and dispose of the mercury properly as hazardous waste. Consider seeking professional help for cleanup if unsure of how to proceed.
Spilled mercury can release toxic vapors, which can be harmful if inhaled. It is important to clean up the spill properly to prevent contamination and exposure. Contact your local environmental agency for guidance on safe cleanup and disposal procedures.
Mercury is extremely toxic to humans (and pretty much everything else as well). It can be absorbed quite easily through the skin and the vapour is also easy to breathe in; this makes it quite dangerous and unhealthy to try it. Even if this wasn't so, mercury is liquid at any temperature above -38oC/oF, and its density and surface tension mean that you physically can't pick it up with your hands.
No, according to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, Mercury is neither flammable or combustible.
Spilled water can make a floor slippery, which can cause people to slip.
