Is Mercury electric?
Liquid mercury can conduct electricity, it's what makes mercury thermostats work. As for solid mercury, it conducts electricity in solid phase as all metals do.
When is quicksilver solid?
Mercury become a solid at -38,829 oC.
Is mercury the planet a liquid or a solid?
Solid, iron core
Does ice sink of float when placed in these liquids water alcohol mercury ice?
AnswerAs water freezes,what happens to the water molecules that causes ice to float?why is the unquie? My answer is that the ice has comes more dense n is light to float up then to sink down.I am no physicist, but I think ice is less dense than liquid water. After all, water expands when frozen (unique to H2O, I think?). Ice floats in water, of course. As far as pure alcohol, my best guess is that yes, it floats in alcohol, too. I have to say that ice will float on mercury due the great difference in the densities of the two substances (mercury being much more dense than ice).
How an you tell if a sample of matter is solid?
it will be hard
Can iron float in any liquid?
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
A sample of a solid will float in water in which type of table can this be found?
The sample of solid will float in water in the table of densities, where the density of the solid is less than the density of water. This can be determined by comparing the densities of the solid and water.
Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
Will a block of ice sink in mercury metal?
No, the density of water ice (0.92) is far below that of mercury (13.6) and so the ice will float on liquid mercury. Even iron density 7.85) and copper (8.73) and lead (11.3) will float on mercury but gold (density 19.6) sinks!
Does a solid piece of lead float in the water?
No, lead is a dense material and will sink in water. The density of lead is greater than the density of water, so it will not float.
If you burn a piece of any given sample of solid fuel what forms of energy are produced?
there will be earthquake there will be earthquake
Why does a solid piece of clay while a clay boat can be made to float?
The clay boat (like a steel ship) displaces its own weight in the water. So, as long as the sides of the clay boat (or steel ship) is above the water level, it will float. A solid piece of clay will (like a stone) sink immediately.
Juanita would like to know whether a sample of a solid will float in water In which type of table could she find this information?
In a chart of various densities.
What is mercury as a solid?
Mercury is not a solid so it is nothing as a solid.

A large sample of solid calcium sulfate is crushed into smaller pieces for testing Which two physical properties are the same for both the large sample and one of the smaller pieces?
The density and chemical composition of both the large sample and a smaller piece of solid calcium sulfate are the same.
Will a solid ball float or sink?
float
