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 silver float on water?
Silver is a dense metal with a density of 10.49 g/cm³, while water has a density of 1 g/cm³. Since silver is much denser than water, it will sink in water rather than float. However, if the silver is shaped into a thin enough sheet or foil, it may be able to float on the surface tension of the water, similar to how a paperclip can float on water.
Would a polypropylene float on mercury?
Yes, polypropylene would float on mercury due to its lower density compared to mercury. Polypropylene has a density of around 0.9 g/cm³, while mercury has a density of about 13.6 g/cm³, making polypropylene less dense and causing it to float on mercury.
Does mercury float on water?
No, it sinks.
What is the atomic letter for mercury and silver?
Mercury is Hg. Silver is Ag.
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.
Will lead sik or float in mercury?
it will float
Will mercury float in ethanol?
No, mercury is denser than ethanol, so it will sink and not float.
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.
Can iron float in any liquid?
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
Does a bowling balls float?
No, they are not bouyant. They won't float on water, but they will float on mercury.
Does cork sink or float in mercury?
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.
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.
Will silver float or sink in water?
no gold does not float in water because it has a density higher than 1 which is the density for water. Therefore, it sinks.rofl
