If you place an iron pyrite cube in Mercury it will produce about a millivolt of current in water. More in salt water or vinegar or free radicals. This is a completely unexplored way to generate free electricity. It is not due to galvanization since the cube is the dependent aspect. Take the cube out and the amperage disappears (slowly but surely over time). This indicates both a capacitance and current generating characteristic that is unique to the interaction of the cube and Mercury and the water provides the connective volt potential (although a different medium would yield better results.

Is there a liquid denser than iron?

Yes, there are several liquids that are denser than iron. For example, mercury is a liquid metal that is denser than iron. Mercury has a density of 13.6 g/cm³, while iron has a density of 7.87 g/cm³ at room temperature.


What will happen when you add iron fillings to a solution of mercuric nitrate?

Drops of liquid metallic mercury will form and drop to the bottom of the solution: Iron is higher in the electromotive series than mercury and will therefore displace mercury from compounds of mercury, the iron being changed to cations that replace as many of the mercury cations in the solution as is stoichiometrically possible, based on the amount of iron added to the solution and the amount of mercuric nitrate originally present.

What are the differences between the properties of iron and mercury?

Iron and mercury have different properties. Iron is a solid metal with a high melting point, while mercury is a liquid metal at room temperature. Iron is magnetic, strong, and durable, while mercury is a dense, silvery liquid that is toxic to humans. Iron is commonly used in construction and manufacturing, while mercury is used in thermometers and some electrical devices.

What liquid do rocks float in?

Which rock? Any liquid that is dense enough will support a rock; the most common would likely be mercury, in which even iron floats.


Is Mercury's core made up of gas?

No. Rather the core of mercury is made up of iron probably in a molten or liquid state.


What happens when a iron nail is put in mercury?

When an iron nail is placed in mercury, a reaction called amalgamation occurs. The iron atoms from the nail react with the mercury atoms, forming an alloy called an amalgam. The iron nail gets coated with a layer of amalgam, which can make the nail appear silver-like and can change its properties.
