What else can I help you with?
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 balsa wood float on liquid mercury?
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.
Will wood float in gasoline?
Yes, wood will typically float in gasoline because the density of wood is lower than that of gasoline. This means that the wood will be less dense than the gasoline and will 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.
Will aluminum sink or float in mercury?
Aluminium will always float in Mercury. The mass of the Aluminium is irrelevent. If you think of a more common example does it matter how big the piece of wood is as to whether it floats in water? Aluminium floats in Mercury because it is lighter than the same voluime of Mercury just as wood floats on water because it is lighter than same volume of water.

What will happen when wood is placed in mercury?
When wood is placed in mercury, nothing significant will happen as mercury is a relatively inert metal and will not react with the wood. The wood will simply float on the surface of the mercury due to the density difference between the two materials.
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 mercury float in ethanol?
No, mercury is denser than ethanol, so it will sink and not float.
Will lead sik or float in mercury?
it will float
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.
How did pirate boats float?
it floats because of its wood wood is waterproof which makes it float
