Mercury is often used as an expansion medium in a thermometer. The Mercury sits in a bulb on the bottom of the thermometer and r
ises up a thin capillary as the temperature rises. Suppose a Mercury thermometer contains 3.550 g of mercury and has a capillary that is 0.190 mm in diameter. How far does the Mercury rise in the capillary when the temperature changes from 0.0 degrees Celsius to 25.0 degrees Celsius? The density of Mercury at these temperatures is 13.596 g/cm^3 and 13.534 g/cm^3, respectively.
