Where can Mercury be found?

Answer 1

ANSWER: Mercury or quicksilver, is most commonly used in thermometers and barometers. It also has other scientific uses, such as manometers and float valves. Mercury is also used for medical purposes, such as blood pressure devices, and can be found in some over-the-counter medicine, such as eye drops, and diaper-rash ointment. Mercury is also used in mascara. Mercury's vaporous discharge can produce light, thus it can be found in some ultraviolet lamps. But, it can also be found in deposits all over the world, as cinnabar (Red mercury)

Answer 2

Answer
Mercury can be found as an oxidation product of the mineral cinnabar. Most notable deposits are in Spain.
Mercury is an element in the earth's crust. Humans cannot create or destroy mercury. Pure mercury is a liquid metal, sometimes referred to as quicksilver that volatiles readily. It has traditionally been used to make products like thermometers, switches, and some light bulbs. Mercury is found in many rocks including coal.

Answer 4

Mercury at room temperature is a liquid, this means there aren't large pools of it located any where. However, the mineraloid is usually found in the ore cinnabar. So it must go through some sort of fractional distillation process to be obtained as a pure element. This means expanded and condensed many times. Mercury can also often be found in silver. It's often produced in Spain, also.

Answer 5

Mercury is obtained from an ore called cinnabar or another called calomel. The places cinnabar and calomel can be mined in the world (quoting www.minerals.net) are as follows:

'The locality that yields the most and the finest Native Mercury for collectors is Almadén, Ciudad Real, Spain. There, small blobs are found in the associating Cinnabar. Many small blobs have also come from the mercury mines in Idrija, in former Yugoslavia. In the U.S., Mercury occurs in the Almaden and New Almaden mines in Santa Clara Co., California; the Socrates Mine, Sonoma Co., California; and Idria, San Benito Co., California. Small quantities of Mercury also occur in Arkansas and Texas.'

Answer 6

Mercury can be found in cinnabar ore deposits and is often mined for its extraction. It is also present naturally in small amounts in air, water, and soil. Additionally, mercury is used in various industries and products, such as batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, and dental fillings.

Answer 7

No it is not found on mercury it is found deep underground

Answer 8

In nature, Batteries and Thermometers
