Talk:Galvanic series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I came here curious as to how noble Mercury is, but found it missing from the list. I've googled a bit, but I have found no good answer.

One site, http://irc.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/pubs/ctus/8_e.html, has it between Silver and Gold in the series, but can it be trusted? And is this in conditions of seawater or fresh water? It does not state, though from context it may seem fresh water would be most relevant ...

Other sites listing Mercury seem to base their lists on the electrochemical series instead. Most sites don't list Mercury at all. Hmph.

I'm still curious, so if anyone could add Mercury to this table, I'd be grateful.  :)
