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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Liquid where rock floats and wood sinks?
The liquid that fits this description is mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal that is heavier than most rocks and can cause wood to float on its surface due to its high density compared to the objects it displaces.
What wood can float?
Almost every type of wood will float. There are a few very dense and rare woods found in the tropics that will not float. And if formed properly, pretty much anything can be made to float including stone and concrete.
Why balsa wood is denser than water?
Balsa wood is denser than water because its molecules are more tightly packed, resulting in a higher mass per unit volume compared to water. This higher density causes balsa wood to sink in water rather than float.
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.
Would balsa wood float or sink?
Balsa wood would float because it is one of the lightest woods available, with a density lower than that of water. Its low density allows it to displace enough water to support its weight, making it buoyant. This property is why balsa wood is often used in model building and lightweight structures.
Does balsa wood float in water?
While there are a lot of varieties of pine wood, all of the ones I've seen are less dense than water (they will float).
Liquid where rock floats and wood sinks?
The liquid that fits this description is mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal that is heavier than most rocks and can cause wood to float on its surface due to its high density compared to the objects it displaces.
Which physical property could be used to separate balsa wood from rocks?
you can put the mixture in water, the wood will float and the rocks will sink.
Who invented the balsa wood?
Balsa wood is natural it comes from the Balsa tree
What wood can float?

Which of these is the lightest wood balsa oak or bamboo?
Balsa wood is the lightest.
What grain type is balsa wood?
balsa wood is a type of grain that is....?!!
Where do you buy Balsa Wood?
