Suppose a mercury thermometer contains 3.250g of mercury and has a capillary that is 0.180mm in diameter.. How far does the merc

ury rise in the capillary when the temperature changes from 0.0 ∘C to 25.0 ∘C? The density of mercury at these temperatures is 13.596 g/cm3 and 13.534 g/cm3, respectively.

<h3>The mercury will rise in the capillary to a height of 4.3 cm.</h3><h3>FURTHER EXPLANATION</h3>

The steps in solving this problem are the following:

1. Sort the given from the problem.

2. Get the volume of mercury at 0.0 °C and 25.0 °C.

3. Get the difference in volume for the two temperatures.

4. Solve for the height of the mercury using the volume of a cylinder (shape of the thermometer).

<u>STEP 1.</u> Sort the given information in the problem.

<em>Given:</em>

mass of mercury = 3.250 g

diameter of capillary = 0.180 mm

density at 0.0°C = 13.596 g/cm³

density at 25.0° = 13.534 g/cm³

<em>Find:</em>

volume change from 0.0°C to 25.0° C

change in height from 0.0°C to 25.0°C

<u>STEP 2:</u> Using the equation for density, calculate the volume at 0.0°C and 25.0° C. The general equation to be used is:

volume = \frac{mass}{density}

<em>For 0.0°C</em>

<em>volume = \frac{3.250 \ g}{13.596 \frac{g}{cm^3}}\\\boxed {volume = 0.23904 \ cm^3}</em>

<em>For 25.0°C</em>

<em>volume = \frac{3.250 \ g}{13.534 \frac{g}{cm^3}}\\\boxed {volume = 0.24014 \ cm^3}</em>

<u>STEP 3:</u><u> </u>Solve for the volume change.

\Delta V = 0.24014 \ cm^3 - 0.23904 \ cm^3\\\boxed {\Delta V = 1.1 \times 10^{-3} \ cm^3}

<u>STEP 4:</u> From the change in volume, the change in height can be calculated using the equation below:

\Delta h = \frac{\Delta V}{\pi\ r^2}\\\Delta h = \frac{1.1 \times 10^{-3} \ cm^3}{\pi({9 \times 10^{-3} \ cm)}^2}\\\\\boxed {\Delta h = 4.32 \ cm}

From the given in the problem, the least number of significant figures is 2, thus, the final answer must only have 2 significant figures as well.

Therefore,

\boxed {\boxed {\Delta h = 4.3 \ cm}}

1) You need to get volume of both temperatures by using first attached formula V= Mass/DensityV_1 = (3.250 g)/(13.596 g/(cm^3)) = .2390 cm^3&#10;At 25 degrees C (V_2e have:&#10;&#10;V_2  = (3.250 g)/(13.534 g/(cm^3)) = .2401 cm^3

2) Using the second formula you get the height of 0 degree 
h = V/(pi * r^2)&#10;&#10;&#10;h_1 =(.2390 cm^3)/(pi*(.009 cm)^2)  = 939.2 cm

(radius in cm is (0.180 mm) / 2 * (1 cm)/(10 mm) or .009 cm

3) Then with h1 you can easily get the height of 25 degrees 
h_2 =(.2401 cm^3)/(pi*(.009 cm)^2) = 943.5 cm

 Subtract 943.5 cm - 939.2 cm, and obtain a rise in mercury height of 4.3 cm

Which term describes the molecule shown below h-c-c-h ethyne c2h2?
Andru [333]
Ethyne also known as Acetylene and is the simplest Alkyne belonging to  Unsaturated Hydrocarbons. It contains triple bond between two carbon atoms in a molecule. Carbon atoms in Acetylene are sp Hybridized and has a linear shape with bond angle of 180° is present between C-C-H bonds. This compound is also called as Binary Compound because it is made up of two elements i.e. Carbon and Hydrogen. The terminal Hydrogen in Acetylene is slightly Acidic in nature, and this compound can donate terminal proton to any strong base. These compounds generally give Electrophillic Addition Reactions.

A 0.10 M solution of Na2HPO4 could be made a buffer solution with all of the following EXCEPT ________.NaH2PO4K3PO4Na3PO4H3PO4
Kipish [7]

The answer is: H₃PO₄.

A phosphoric acid is three protic acid, which means that in water release tree protons.

Phosphoric acid ionizes in three steps in water.

First step: H₃PO₄(aq) ⇄ H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

Second step: H₂PO₄⁻(aq)⇄ HPO₄²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

Third step: HPO₄²⁻(aq) ⇄ PO₄³⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

Species that are present: H₃PO₄, H₂PO₄⁻, HPO₄²⁻, PO₄³⁻ and H⁺.

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable.
