Mercury is a stable element, meaning it does not naturally undergo radioactive decay. However, certain isotopes of mercury can be radioactive if they are artificially produced in a lab. Overall, mercury is known for its liquid form at room temperature, high toxicity, and ability to form amalgams with other metals.
A condenser is generally an object made from glass, used to condense a gas to a liquid.
Those would be beakers.
A graduated cylinder is commonly used to measure liquid volume in milliliters accurately. The markings on the cylinder allow for precise measurement of the volume of liquid.
More Info: In a lab to prove that the temperature of matter can not change if it is going through a state change, data for the state change from solid to liquid has a small variation (the temp probe read melted water instead of the ice). How do I academically explain/ justify this in my lab write up?
Mercury must be collected with a piece of copper dipped before in mercury to form an amalgam on the surface.
A lab thermometer typically has a narrower temperature range and higher precision compared to a liquid thermometer. It may also be designed specifically for use in laboratory settings with features like resistance to chemicals or breakage resistance. Liquid thermometers use a column of liquid, such as mercury or alcohol, to measure temperature, while lab thermometers may use different mechanisms like resistance temperature detectors or thermocouples.

Which lab tool might you use to measure the volume of a liquid?
im not sure if this is what you mean, but some lab thermomometers contain mercury and when mercury enters the human body its extremely toxic and can cause brain damage and other such things.
You can find mercury inside a glass thermometer, if it is old and maybe a bit out of date. Don't break it though to get the mercury out... unless your in a lab and you have all the safety equipment
Because the pressure of air may be greater than the pressure of the ascending Mercury.
tell someone immrediately
The lab technician measured the density of the liquid.
Normally a small glass rod.
A lab balance.
