Why water is not the best a barometric liquid?
A simple way to answer this question is because that thermometer would have a very limited range. Water becomes solid at 0 deg C and so if you where measuring below this your thermometer would freeze up and would give any reading. Water also evaporates at 100 deg C so if you where measuring over this temp the water in the thermometer would evaporate and once again you can not get a reading. Mercury however which is seen in most thermometers provides a large range from - 39 deg C to 357 deg C. For this reason water isn't chosen over other elements/compounds
