The accepted average density of Neptunium is 19.38 g/cm3 (it is radioactive with several isotopes with somewhat different inherent densities)
The average density of Mercury is 13.534 g/cm3
Since Neptunium is more dense than Mercury a sample would be expected to sink in Mercury
What else can I help you with?
Do rocks float on mercury?
No, rocks are denser than mercury, so they would sink in mercury. Mercury is a very dense liquid at room temperature, so objects that are less dense than mercury will float on it.
Can a normal human float in mercury?
No, a normal human would not be able to float in mercury. Mercury is about 13.6 times denser than water, making it extremely dense and heavy. The human body would sink in mercury due to its high density.
Would chromium float or sink in Mercury?
Chromium, with a density of 7.19 gm/cubic centimeter, will float on liguid mercury, with a density of 13.5 gm per cubic centimeter.
Would the mass on mercury float on water?
Mercury would not float on water. This is because the density of Mercury (5427kg/m3) is greater than the density of water (1000kg/m3).
What substances will sink in mercury?
the solids that will float on liquid mercury are coal, ironware's or objects with lower specific density
Will mercury float in ethanol?
No, mercury is denser than ethanol, so it will sink and not float.
Is mercury sink or float if you placed in sea water?
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.
Can iron float in any liquid?
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
Does cork sink or float in mercury?
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.
Will cork sink or float in mercury?
Cork floats on mercury due to its low density compared to mercury. Mercury has a very high density, so most materials, including metals, will sink in it. Cork, being less dense, will float on the surface of mercury.
Does lead float or sink in liquid mercury?
Lead will sink in liquid mercury because lead is denser than mercury. Mercury is a heavy liquid metal, so most metals will sink when placed in it.
Can nickel float on liquid Mercury?
Yes, nickel can float on liquid mercury because the density of nickel is lower than that of mercury. This means that nickel will not sink when placed on liquid mercury, and instead will float on its surface.
Can gold float on mercury?
Gold is a higher density than Mercury so it will sink if placed into a container of mercury.
Do wood in Mercury float?
No, wood would not float in mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal, much denser than water, so wood would sink in it.
Will wood float on mercury?
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.
Do rocks float on mercury?
No, rocks are denser than mercury, so they would sink in mercury. Mercury is a very dense liquid at room temperature, so objects that are less dense than mercury will float on it.
If you drop a piece of lead into a pool of mercury will it sink or float?
Lead would float in mercury, as it is slightly less dense. (11.3 g/cc for lead, 13.5 g/cc for mercury)
