Can smell it?
FoxPesdassi
Mercury does partially vaporize at room temperature, but I don't know of any animal nose that can smell it. The gas is highly toxic, too.
Thanks, it’s Toxic .

The water/ice 'bag' was interesting.
SwanTayle
That makes a lot of sense i totally thought ot was melting from the inside out because the water was hotter at the top and came in there
TheRicM
The peeing part was the best
Gofdunk
I think the scientific term is mercurial scrotum

Don't ask me why I know this, but vodka does the same thing if you freeze it with dry ice and make white Russians with it.

Why do you know this?
The fuck did I just say?
AtomFox
MrMaRzZ
Heat equation for melting is is 334 joules
Ice

kurukatsu
Yeah 'solid' mercury
I mean we don't know if it's solid or liquid because of the ice 'bag'
Pentacus
We know it was solid going in because it was holding together before the "ice bag" was formed
Until it melted....
EyeSpyABreathtakingPerson
The frozen mercury is at least -38 (in C and F, interestingly) so easily cold enough to freeze the water. I didn't even notice the effect
InTheDesert
I thought it was -40 that Celcius and Fahrenheit met at?
TeleportingDonkeys
It is. 38 is just close enough than you can round both and get to 38
Of course you have to round C down instead of to nearest but...
at first though and it is pretty fascinating. Thanks for pointing it out.
Nor I until the leak dribbling out the left bottom, then the crack, and the side floating up; and only then drain mostly out of the bag. >
While it looks pretty frosty going into the water, you can see banding of the surface ripples as they flash froze on insertion into water.
SmokyDoggg
Fuck Mercury is so interesting and fun to play with. If only it wasn’t so toxic! I would have a bottle to play with if it wasn’t.
KoRplussomeletters
I almost dropped the small bottle we had in the lab because I wasn't expecting it to be so heavy.
iluvplants
Is it though? This material has the ability to "float" very heavy objects. Could it have been used in temple, pyramid, or UFO construction?
circegirl
It's pretty toxic - origin of the term 'mad hatter' iirc
Harbltron
There's a nontoxic metal whose name I can't remember that remains solid at room temperature but will dissolve into liquid in the palm of yo.
Megamastermetamememaker
Gadolinium iirc
titaniumsnail
Gallium.
Just don't put it on anything aluminium.
thoushaltnotpass
Buy some gallium, it's much less toxic and still fun to play with
Millsslslsls
a lot messier though. makes it look you rubbed graphite all over your hands.
Yes, but I don't think cleaning your hands is optional in either cases. I wouldn't do it without latex gloves
indeed. it's not just your hands it well get messy though; countertops, glassware, siblings face etc.
Tishall
Mercury freezes at -37.89°F, -38.83°C. For those that are curious. Everyone else, please do not read this comment.
YayItsMillerTime
How many is that in Kelvin... It's what my weather channel widget is set to
MidwestGamer69
You can't tell me what to do.
OhNoNotThatGuyQuickEverybodyHide
Thanks for the heads up.
ExistentialDreadlocks
Then how do thermometers work below that temp?
killerbtv
Mercury thermometers have mostly been replaced with alcohol base, but for lower temps other chemicals can be used
transientmind
I wasn’t curious so I didn’t read. Trust me.
IOnlyCommentWithIrony
I want my time back. I read it but then realized i didn't want to know after all
MrCoolWhip
Great now I gotta google mercury thermometers to find out how they work.

Having so many different gauges to measure temperature seems a bit like we're playing Kelvinball.
AeonQuasars
I always thought Fahrenheit never went below 0. That 0 F was the absolute zero. I always use Celsius so I might be wrong.
SmutMonger
F goes below zero. I can't tell you what absolute zero is in F, but I can tell you freezing is 32F and boiling is 212F.
What's the point of F then? It was the only thing from the imperial system I could understand why it was made. Going from 0 and upward.
wd4ox
F is meant to be the percentage of temperature acceptable to humans, so 0F = hypothermia, 100F= fever from my understanding of it anyway.
Celsius at least have a reason like freezing is 0 and boiling is 100.
TeaOverdose
i always thought farenheit was relative to human temperature but it's just weird. livescience.com/amp/39916-fahrenheit.html
badgerthewitness
The point of it is that it’s very useful for functional temperature changes in humans and human environments. The difference between
60 and 70 Fahrenheit, subjectively, feels like a 10 degree shift. 98.6F is normal, 99-100 is a little warm, 101 and up is serious fever
Vaziera
Actually it's interesting how F began. Read this article and it makes more sense. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/12/fahrenheit
saberfecco
As the other guys mentioned, that is Kelvin

Put a magnet on the bottom of the glass and then pour the water out.
Though it's highly contaminated water now mind you.
mrsdowneyjr
Uncompounded liquid elemental mercury doesn't dissolve in water and isn't toxic. Mercuric chloride or nebulized mercury is dangerous.
SirButcher
Elemental mercury not dissolving in water, it is pretty safe. The fumes are dangerous, and many of its compound molecules.
kraftwahrheit
Would distilling the water safely remove the mercury?
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
I think yes, but I only have 5 years of college under my belt.
EckiTheGreat
Prolly, but wouldn't recommend drinking anyways. Mercury poisoning is nothing you'd ever want. Like never ever.
