in Mercury the molecules are closser with respect to the molecular structure of the water. so when both of them are heated , there will be more molecular collision in mercury than in water. that's why , when both of them are heated to the same extend mercury produces more heat than water.

When a mercury therometer is heated the mercury expands and rises in the thin tube of glass What does this indicate about the relative rates of expansion for mercury and glass?

The fact that the mercury expands and rises in the thin glass tube when heated indicates that mercury expands more than glass when heated. This suggests that mercury has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion compared to glass.


When a substance is heated it must gain electrons and energy?

Yes, it gains kinetic energy, for instance, when water is heated into water vapours the molecules of water vapour move faster than the molecules of water. This is because the water vapour has more kinetic energy than water.


Compare the expansion of mercury with alcohol?

Mercury expands more evenly than alcohol. This is why thermometers that contain mercury are more accurate than those that contain alcohol. However, alcohol freezes at a temperature much lower than mercury, so it is better used in thermometers in extreme cold conditions.


What is one reason that room temperature water boils faster than cold water?

Room temperature water boils faster than cold water because it is closer to the boiling point, requiring less energy to reach that point. Cold water must first be heated to room temperature before it can reach the boiling point, delaying the process.


What happens to water molecules when they are heated?

Like all molecules, a molecule of H20 is in constant motion; 'hot' molecules move faster than 'cold' molecules. If the molecules move slowly enough the substance appears stationary to us (frozen water) and if they move quickly enough they will expand to fill their container (vapor or gas water.)

Why do rocks get heated and cooled faster than water?

Because they are more hollow.

Is land heats faster than water because only its surface is heated true or false?

Yes...


Will a bottle of water freeze faster than a bottle of water heated up?

yes because the warm water takes longer to diffuse its heat


When the sun's rays strike land and water do they heat up as fast as each other?

no ,land gets heated faster than water.


What will happen to a drop of food coloring when added to a cup of heated water?

The food coloring will spread throughout the water and become homogeneous faster than it would in cold or warm water. The food coloring would also mix evenly with the water faster if you stirred the water after adding the food coloring. This happens because the molecules are moving faster when they are heated up stirred.


Which container of water will be heated faster the one with more water or the one with lesser water?

=the one with less water because there is a less amount of liquid to heat up, so it would be heated up the quickest rather than the cup with more water.=


Will a steel ball float in mercury if it's heated?

No, a steel ball will not float in mercury, even if it is heated. Mercury is much denser than steel, so the steel ball will sink in mercury regardless of its temperature.


How do you explain that dry ice sublimate faster in heated vegetable oil than in heated water?

The oil is thicker. The thicker oil holds its temperature longer. It resists change. The water, being thinner, changes temperature faster. Therefore, the dry-ice is in a hotter environment longer, which allows the reaction at a higher rate than the water after is has cooled a degree or more.


Does it take longer to saturate a heated solution than a cold solution?

No, a heated solution will saturate faster.


Is Mercury heavier than water?

Yes, Mercury is heavier than water. Mercury has a density of 13.6 g/cm³, which is much greater than the density of water at 1 g/cm³.
