When the temperature of the glass bottle and Mercury increases, the volume of both also increases. However, since mercury has a greater coefficient of volume expansion than the glass, it will expand more, causing it to spill out of the bottle. The fraction that will spill out can be calculated using the coefficients of volume expansion for mercury and glass, along with the initial volume of mercury and bottle.
What else can I help you with?
Which metal is ln liquid state under ordinary condition?
Mercury is the only metal that is in liquid state under ordinary conditions, specifically at room temperature.
Why is mercury is preferred in ordinary thermometers?
Mercury is preferred in ordinary thermometers because it expands and contracts uniformly with temperature changes, making it suitable for accurate temperature measurement. Additionally, mercury has a wide temperature range, staying liquid at typical outdoor temperatures and freezing at a low enough temperature to detect extreme cold. Finally, mercury is a good conductor of heat, allowing for quick response times in temperature readings.
What is the temperature of the mercury when the length of the mercury thread is 8cm?
The length of a mercury thread in a thermometer is not directly related to the temperature of the mercury. The temperature is denoted by the level that the mercury rises to in the calibrated tube. The length of the mercury thread only indicates the volume of mercury present.
Is mercury the heaviest naturally occurring element?
No, the three densest elements under ordinary conditions are osmium, iridium and platinum, in that order. Please see the link. *************************** However, mercury is the densest liquid at room temperature.
Does mercury evaporate at room temperature?
Yes, mercury can evaporate at room temperature.
Which metal can disssolve solid gold at ordinary room temperature?
mercury

Which metal can easily dissolve solid gold at ordinary room temperature?
Mercury
Would it have been possible to make mercury thermometers if the expansion of glass would have been the greater?
Yes, The mercury level would drop as the temperature increased.
What is the most common state of Mercury?
The state of mercury at ordinary temperature and pressure is liquid, but it becomes solid at -39oC and becomes vapour at 357oC.
What is the advantage between a bimetallic thermometer and an ordinary thermometer?
If you mean by an "ordinary" thermometer, a mercury thermometer, the bimetallic type can measure a far greater range of temperature (mercury freezes at -38oC and boils at 356oC making it useless in the polar regions or for measuring high temperatures).Bimetallic thermometers are also more robust; mercury thermometers are usually made from glass and are fragile.
How does length and bore affect sensitivity of mercury thermometer?
The sensitivity of a mercury thermometer is affected by its length and bore. A longer thermometer will respond more slowly to temperature changes due to the increased mercury column length, while a wider bore allows for more mercury movement and can increase sensitivity to small temperature changes.
The only metal that is a liquid at ordinary?
Mercury
How does a thermometer use thermal expansion?
A thermometer uses thermal expansion by measuring the expansion or contraction of a fluid (like mercury or alcohol) inside a narrow tube as the temperature changes. The increased volume of the fluid due to heat causes it to rise in the tube, providing a temperature reading.
Mention any two points of difference between a clinical thermometer and an ordinary mercury thermometer?
A clinical thermometer will offer more precise calibrated readings than a mercury thermometer. The range of measurable temperature differs between a clinical and a mercury thermometer with the mercury thermometer having the wider range.
