What happen to the mercury when the bulb placed in hot water?
When a thermometer bulb containing mercury is placed in hot water, the mercury inside expands, causing the level of mercury to rise. This expansion of mercury is used to measure the increase in temperature accurately.
2 elements that are liquid at room temp?
Water and mercury are two elements that are liquid at room temperature.
Why can't Mercury be used to make water pipes?
Mercury is a liquid at room temperature. Tricky to build stuff of liquids.
Which substance has the highest density at room temperature out of water hydrogen and oxygen?
mercury
Which have highest specific heat-mercury or water?
Water has a higher specific heat capacity than mercury. The specific heat of water is approximately 4.18 J/g°C, while mercury's specific heat is about 0.14 J/g°C. This means that water can absorb more heat per gram for a given temperature change compared to mercury, making it more effective in moderating temperature changes.
Why is mercury used in a thermometer why not green water?
Water does not change as much in volume with temperature as much as Mercury does, which makes it more difficult to read temperature Changes on a scale.
Which matter remains liquid at room temperature?
Mercury is the only metal that remains liquid at room temperature.
Is Mercury suitable for life?
No, Mercury is not at all suitable for life. It has no atmosphere and no water, and has horrific temperature extremes.
What would you measure water temperature with?
A mercury thermometer (but not a medical one!)
Why is alcohol and mercury in liquid thermometer than water?
Water freezes at too high a temperature.
Why would mercury be better to put in a thermometer than water?
Mercury has a larger coefficient of expansion compared to water, which makes it more sensitive to changes in temperature. This allows for more precise measurement of temperature variations. Additionally, mercury does not adhere to glass surfaces, allowing for easy reading of the temperature scale.

What is water's state of matter at room temperature?
Water is liquid at room temperature, but it is not an element. Water is a combination of two elements, Hydrogen and Oxygen, with the formula H2O. Water is not an element. Mercury (Hg) is an element which is liquid at room temperature.
Can houseplants be taken be taken outside for sunlight?
Yes, just make sure that it has enough water and the temperature is similar to our homes temperature.

Would life survive on Mercury?
Not any life that we know of. Besides the obvious temperature problems, there is no atmosphere, and no water on Mercury.
