Can smell it?

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

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.

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

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.

Yeah 'solid' mercury

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 6

I mean we don't know if it's solid or liquid because of the ice 'bag'

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 5

We know it was solid going in because it was holding together before the "ice bag" was formed

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Until it melted....

5 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

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

5 years ago | Likes 49 Dislikes 0

I thought it was -40 that Celcius and Fahrenheit met at?

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It is. 38 is just close enough than you can round both and get to 38

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Of course you have to round C down instead of to nearest but...

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

at first though and it is pretty fascinating. Thanks for pointing it out.

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

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.

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.

5 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

I almost dropped the small bottle we had in the lab because I wasn't expecting it to be so heavy.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Is it though? This material has the ability to "float" very heavy objects. Could it have been used in temple, pyramid, or UFO construction?

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's pretty toxic - origin of the term 'mad hatter' iirc

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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.

Gallium.

Just don't put it on anything aluminium.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Buy some gallium, it's much less toxic and still fun to play with

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

a lot messier though. makes it look you rubbed graphite all over your hands.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yes, but I don't think cleaning your hands is optional in either cases. I wouldn't do it without latex gloves

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

indeed. it's not just your hands it well get messy though; countertops, glassware, siblings face etc.

Mercury freezes at -37.89°F, -38.83°C. For those that are curious. Everyone else, please do not read this comment.

Then how do thermometers work below that temp?

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Mercury thermometers have mostly been replaced with alcohol base, but for lower temps other chemicals can be used

Having so many different gauges to measure temperature seems a bit like we're playing Kelvinball.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I always thought Fahrenheit never went below 0. That 0 F was the absolute zero. I always use Celsius so I might be wrong.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 12

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.

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

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.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

F is meant to be the percentage of temperature acceptable to humans, so 0F = hypothermia, 100F= fever from my understanding of it anyway.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Celsius at least have a reason like freezing is 0 and boiling is 100.

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

i always thought farenheit was relative to human temperature but it's just weird. livescience.com/amp/39916-fahrenheit.html

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

The point of it is that it’s very useful for functional temperature changes in humans and human environments. The difference between

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

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

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Actually it's interesting how F began. Read this article and it makes more sense. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/12/fahrenheit

Though it's highly contaminated water now mind you.

5 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

Uncompounded liquid elemental mercury doesn't dissolve in water and isn't toxic. Mercuric chloride or nebulized mercury is dangerous.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Elemental mercury not dissolving in water, it is pretty safe. The fumes are dangerous, and many of its compound molecules.

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Would distilling the water safely remove the mercury?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I think yes, but I only have 5 years of college under my belt.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Prolly, but wouldn't recommend drinking anyways. Mercury poisoning is nothing you'd ever want. Like never ever.
