Why is mercury in a thermometer instead of colored water?
Mercury is used in thermometers because it expands and contracts uniformly with temperature changes, providing accurate measurements. Additionally, mercury has a high boiling point, allowing for use in a wide temperature range. Colored water would not provide as precise measurements due to its variable expansion rates with temperature.
If water was used in a sphygmomanometer instead of mercury what would be the systolic and diastolic blood pressure?
Mercury's density is around 13.54 x that of water, so the pressures (in mm of water) would be 13.54 x what they are for mercury - 100 mm Hg would be around 1354 mm H2O
Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
Would the mass on mercury float on water?
Mercury would not float on water. This is because the density of Mercury (5427kg/m3) is greater than the density of water (1000kg/m3).
Would have it be possible to make mercury thermometers if expansion of glass is greater than the expansion of mercury?
Suppose so, but the mercury would fall, instead of rising with temperature increase.
Would Mercury float or sink?
Mercury is a dense liquid metal with a density of 13.6 g/cm^3 at room temperature, which is much higher than water's density. Therefore, mercury would sink in water.
What happens if you use water instead of mercury in determination of atmospheric pressure?
Using water instead of mercury to measure atmospheric pressure will result in a less sensitive barometer due to water's lower density compared to mercury. As a result, the water column would need to be much taller to detect small pressure changes accurately. Additionally, water's tendency to evaporate can make the measurements less stable over time.
Is there water on mercury yes or no?
nope it would be impossible
Does mercury have a MeniscusWhat is the different about it?
yes, it is different because instead of reading the bottom of the meniscus, with mercury you would have to read the top from the direction the curve is
How would it change if a object moved from water to mercury?
Not Much
Were moats filled with alligators?
No, however most moats were filled with spikes under the water so if anybody would try to cross it, they would fail.
Where would you find water in mercury?
You would find water ice inside some of the shaded parts of craters.
