What happens to mercury in a beaker heats up?

As mercury heats up in a beaker, it will expand due to the increase in temperature. This expansion can cause the level of the mercury in the beaker to rise, potentially overflowing if the volume increases significantly. Additionally, as the temperature continues to rise, the mercury may vaporize and release potentially harmful fumes into the air.


Which have higher volume solid or liquid?

A solid. When you look at the compounds of a solid, its atoms are closely packed together, cause it be more dense and have more volume. Liquids atoms are loose and free floating to do as they please, causing liquid to be have a less dense volume. Hope this helps~ Off Spring.


How the volume of a heavy irregularly shaped object may be determined experimentally are there any limitations?

The volume of a heavy irregularly shaped object can be determined experimentally using water displacement method - submerging the object in a known volume of water and measuring the increase in water level. Limitations may include buoyancy effects, difficulty in accurately measuring small volume changes, and water absorption by porous objects.


Can you compression a liquid why or why not?

Yes, you can compress gases, liquids, and solids. However, liquids and solids are MUCH less compressible than gases, and for many practical purposes you can consider them "incompressible". This means that a high pressure will only cause a very small change in volume.


What effects pressure?

Pressure can affect the physical properties of gases, liquids, and solids. For gases, pressure influences volume and temperature through the ideal gas law. In liquids, pressure can impact density and boiling point. In solids, pressure can cause compression or expansion, altering the arrangement of atoms and thus changing the material's properties.


How are liquids formed?

Liquids are formed when a substance's molecules have enough energy to move around and flow freely, but not enough to overcome the attractive forces that hold them close together, as in a solid. The arrangement and movement of molecules in liquids give them a definite volume but not a definite shape. Heating a solid or cooling a gas can cause them to change into a liquid state.


What are two ways to measure the volume of solid?

For any regular prism, multiply the area of the base by the length of a side. For irregular objects, use water displacement. Measure a volume of liquid with a graduated cylinder (or other measuring tool). Then, simply drop the object you want to know the volume of into the water. Find the new measurement that the water reaches on the graduated cylinder. Subtract the new reading from the old reading, and that's the volume of the object.

How does temperature affect the volume of substance?

An increase in temperature will cause an increase in volume, while a decrease in temperature will cause a decrease in volume.


Would condensation form on the outside of a beaker full of hot water why or why not?

Yes, condensation could form on the outside of a beaker full of hot water if the surrounding air is cool enough to cause the water vapor in the air to condense on the cooler surface of the beaker. This is similar to how condensation forms on a cold glass of water on a warm day.
