Would this science experiment work?

[Momentum]

i was thinking of putting bromine (Br) which is a liquid at room temperature inside of a vial with some Oxygen and some Xenon (Xe), as Xenon is a bit heavier then Bromine, would the liquid bromine stay above the Xenon, but below the Oxygen? or would it mix or react?

First off, Xenon and the other elements in its column don't react easily, so there's one thing for certain. Not sure about the other two though.

It shouldn't react, because Bromine is stable in air. However, whether the Bromine would float, idk.

Doesn't bromine do some funky stuff when it makes contact with aluminum?

I understand everything in science but the materials and stuff.
help

depends on how many grams you're putting into the vial. the bromine would also react with oxygen with a certain amount of heat to create BrO3 Ion.

it makes a firework like reaction. here's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCwHzTsx5yY

Pure oxygen would probably escape the vial just by a push.

i could also substitute oxygen with a different gas, to be sure nothing bad happens. mabye neon if it doesnt react with the two other materials?

I remember my first chemistry expiriment.
I made copper acetate when I was 9 wich was 5-6 years ago.
It was pretty easy just heat up a mixture of 50/50 White distilled vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide.
Once it's almost boiling add copper or pennys around the date i think its like 1960? because the new
pennys in america have very very little copper now. Then you just let the solution disolve the copper until it
turns blue or stop bubbling around the copper. Then just pour it into a container and you can do 3 things with it.
Boil it some more until it turns to power. Let it evaporate naturally and get crystals, or keep it as a liquid and
put metal in it to copper plate the metal.

You should mix bleach and ammonia. It has a really neat reaction.

can i eat it??

It would work, as the experiment is to find out what would happen. Technically every experiment works.

not to mention it would be p cool if it worked.

Liquids will sink through gasses unless they are supercooled. Even if they didn't, gasses mix regardless of density, unlike liquids. Your oxygen wouldn't float on top of your bromine.

damnit.

just thinking here, could i magnetically suspend a few droplets of liquid mercury? would that be possible?
