please give the answer first

Look, if we think about the density of Mercury and the Water, we can see that water's density is lower than mercury. So, if we mix mercury and water, we'll find a new object with a new density, which will be higher than water's density and lower than mercury's density.

Mercury also combines with carbon to make organic mercury compounds. The major source of mercury is from natural degassing of the earth's crust. The U.S. EPA has found mercury in water has the potential to cause kidney damage from short-term exposures at levels above the maximum contaminant level (MCL).
When mercury gets into water, bacteria can change it into a form called methylmercury, which is absorbed by tiny aquatic organisms. When fresh water and ocean fish eat those organisms, the mercury begins to build up in their bodies.
