Mercury is used in thermometers because it has a consistent and predictable expansion rate with temperature changes, allowing for accurate measurements. Its liquid state at a wide range of temperatures and its ability to remain in liquid form without freezing or boiling under normal conditions make it ideal for this purpose. Additionally, mercury is visible and has a high density, which enhances readability. However, due to toxicity concerns, many thermometers are now being replaced with safer alternatives.
What else can I help you with?
Is Hg a solid liquid or gas?
Hg is the chemical symbol for the metal mercury. Mercury is a liquid when kept at a normal "room temperature.
The use of thermometer?
the thermometer is used to measure the temperatures.
Is it safe to use rubbing alcohol in a simple thermometer?

How much hg is 1500dg?
To convert decigrams (dg) to hectograms (hg), you can use the conversion factor where 1 hg equals 10 dg. Therefore, to convert 1500 dg to hg, you divide by 10. So, 1500 dg is equal to 150 hg.
In 150 mm Hg how many atmospheres are there?
There are approximately 0.2 atmospheres in 150 mm Hg. To convert from mm Hg to atmospheres, you can use the conversion factor that 1 atm is equal to 760 mm Hg.
