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.
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)
Does steel float on Mercury?
Steel would sink in Mercury because the density of steel (7.85 g/cm^3) is higher than that of Mercury (13.6 g/cm^3). This means steel is denser than Mercury, so it would not float on it.
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.
Would a diamond float or sink in mercury?
A diamond would sink in mercury because the density of a diamond (around 3.5 g/cm^3) is greater than that of mercury (around 13.5 g/cm^3), making the diamond denser than the liquid mercury.
Does cork sink or float in mercury?
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would 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 mercury float in ethanol?
No, mercury is denser than ethanol, so it will sink and not float.
Would a quarter float in water?
It will sink in water, but it will float in mercury. Depends on what the liquid is.
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.
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.
Is mercury sink or float if you placed in sea water?
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.
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)
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.
Can iron float in any liquid?
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
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).
Does steel float on Mercury?
Steel would sink in Mercury because the density of steel (7.85 g/cm^3) is higher than that of Mercury (13.6 g/cm^3). This means steel is denser than Mercury, so it would not float on it.
