The answer is; The mercury level first falls then begin to rise rapidly.
This is because even though glass is not a good thermal conductor, the great heat variation causes the glass to gather heat and expand first even before the mercury is reached by the heat. This increases the volume of the lumen of the glass hence causing the mercury level to drop as the volume of the glass increases.
however, as the heat reaches the mercury, it also begins to expand and the levels stop falling and begin to rise.
Answer:
Energy added: particles move faster and further apart, and matter expands (state changes from solid to liquid to gas). Energy removed: particles move slower and closer together, and matter contracts (state changes from gas to liquid to solid).
Explanation:
Vibrating around fixed positions
color (intensive)
density (intensive)
volume (extensive)
mass (extensive)
boiling point (intensive): the temperature at which a substance boils.
melting point (intensive): the temperature at which a substance melts.
I'm assuming that you are asking a general question because you did not include an example.
The limiting reagent is the item in the reactants (reagents) that will run out first. This is because it limits what the reaction can produce, essentially causing the leftover elements/compounds to just sit there.
