Using a saline solution is preferable to Mercury in a manometer because saline is non-toxic and safer to handle. In case of accidental spillage, saline is less harmful to humans and the environment. Additionally, saline is more commonly available and easier to dispose of compared to mercury.

Why you use mercury manometer to measure atmospheric pressure at sea level rather alcohol?
Mercury has two advantages over alcohol when it comes to measuring pressure in a manometer: 1) it is far denser than alcohol. A column of mercury need only be about 760 mm ( about 3/4 of a meter) high to exert a pressure equal to atmospheric pressure at sea level. Alcohol would have to be over 13 meters high to reach the same pressure! (rather impractical) 2) Mercury has a very low vapor pressure so it doesn't evaporate when exposed to the atmosphere. It also contributes a negligible amount of pressure above the column on the sealed end of the manometer for pretty much any atmospheric temperature. Alcohol has a significant vapor pressure so it would tend to evaporate when exposed to the atmosphere. It also has a high enough vapor pressure that it would contribute a noticeable amount of pressure on the sealed end of the manometer - and the pressure would vary quite noticeably over the range of temperatures that atmospheric manometers are commonly exposed to - so the manometer reading would always have to be corrected for temperature - more so than the mercury manometer must be.
Is a mercury alloy or amalgam considered a compound?
An amalgam is a substance formed by the reaction of some other substance, ANY substance, with mercury. Almost all metals can form amalgams with mercury, notable exceptions being iron and platinum. So the answer would depend on what you wish to amalgamate with mercury.
Is there Mercury on Mercury?
There is no great amount of the element mercury on the planet Mercury. They are just named for the same Roman god. Being a smaller planet, there should be less metallic mercury within Mercury than is found within Earth, but this cannot be absolutely determined quantitatively. There are no measurable amounts of mercury vapor in Mercury's atmosphere. Atmospheric Composition of Mercury: 42% Molecular oxygen 29.0% sodium 22.0% hydrogen 6.0% helium 0.5% potassium Trace amounts of argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, xenon, krypton, and neon.
What planet is the moon most like?
Mercury is the planet that most resembles the Moon in visible surface features and atmosphere. It is a grey planet that has many craters and a thin atmosphere.
What is multiple solution?
A multiple solution is when there are several possible answers or methods to solve a problem. It implies that there is not just one correct solution, but rather multiple valid options. This can occur in various fields such as mathematics, science, or decision-making processes.
Can you give me a sentence that has the word preferable in it?
It is preferable to ride in a car rather than on a donkey.

Inclined-tube manometer why are they used to measure low pressure?
the fluid level in manometer will rise through an inclined line rather than vertical line. So when ever there is slight variation in pressure the manometer (inclined) will be able read it. The pressure drop is given by P=h*density*g*sin(angle).
How many babys showers can you give?
It is preferable to bath a baby, rather than shower it.
How would you use preferable in a sentence?
Walking to the crosswalk would be preferable to getting hit by a car. It would be prefereable if you would pay in cash rather than check.
Why is it preferable to draw a line of best fit rather than to connect the dots?
show a trend
Can you wash Spode dishes?
Yes. Washing "by hand" rather than placing in a dishwasher is preferable.
When is using the passive voice preferable?
Using the passive voice can be preferable when the focus is on the action or the receiver of the action rather than the doer. It can also be used to emphasize the object of the sentence or when the doer is unknown or irrelevant. Additionally, it can be used to avoid assigning blame or responsibility.
Is Mercury least conductive?
No. Mercury is actually rather conductive, being a metal.
Is mercury a moon of any planet?
No. Mercury orbits the sun, so it is a planet rather than a moon.
Why is it preferable to allow cold water to enter at the bottom of a condenser and exit at the top rather than vice versa?
cus' heat rizes
Is Mercury's core made up of gas?
No. Rather the core of mercury is made up of iron probably in a molten or liquid state.
