When a thermometer bulb containing mercury is placed in hot water, the mercury inside expands, causing the level of mercury to rise. This expansion of mercury is used to measure the increase in temperature accurately.
Ice! Some wood is also less dense than water. Styrofoam and some plastics are also less dense than water. There is an EXTREMELY simple experiment to test for this. Any object that floats when placed in water is less dense than the water it is in.And of course sperm.
Wet wood is wood that contains a high amount of moisture. This can happen when wood is not properly seasoned or stored in a damp environment. Wet wood can be difficult to burn efficiently and can produce more smoke and less heat compared to dry wood.
The density of rubber can vary, and the density of wood can vary even more (unless we're putting air in the rubber to make foam). In general, however, wood is less dense than rubber, rubber is less dense than copper, and copper is less dense than mercury.

It will float and get darker in it's color
Yes, wood will float on mercury because mercury is much denser than wood. The density of mercury is about 13.6 times greater than that of wood, so wood will not sink in mercury and will actually float on its surface.
stone coffin in which wood coffin was placed
No, wood would not float in mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal, much denser than water, so wood would sink in it.
no, because mercury can be able to burn things, so when wood goes into liquid mercury, it would most likely melt or "crash and burn."answ2. The above is not correct. Balsa wood would float easily on the surface of mercury. Mercury is a toxic and dangerous material, but it does not of itself provoke combustion.
Gold is a higher density than Mercury so it will sink if placed into a container of mercury.
That is true. Because buoyant force is nothing but the weight of the displaced liquid when a body gets submerged in the medium of liquid. In case of mercury the relative density of mercury is 13.6 compared to that of water. A wood when placed in water, that would float due to greater buoyant force. If it is so, then you imagine about the buoyant force in case of submerging a wood in mercury. Wood having greater volume would expel that much volume of mercury. Hence the weight of the equally displaced mercury will be immense and so the result. Usually iron nails would float on mercury.
Mercury Meltdown happened in 2006.
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.
steel will float in mercury
no
