Question:

Can mercury be stored in a hard plastic test tube?

Can mercury be stored in a hard plastic test tube?

Answer:

If it can b stored in a thermometer, it can be stored in a test tube. You should seal it though
be aware that temperature plays a crucial factor with mercury, putting a lot of mercury into a test tube will be a bad idea if it's possible that the temperature will fluctuate. Storing it inside the fridge would be a good idea or storing a small amount should be fine though
