Why do we use mercury in thermometer​

Physics
1 answer:
viktelen [127]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Mercury is the only one in liquid state at room temperature. It's used in thermometers because it has high coefficient of expansion.  It also has a high boiling point which makes it very suitable to measure higher temperatures. Also, it has a shiny appearance and doesn't stick to the glass surface of glass.

FIND THE WEIGHT OF A 80 KG MAN ON THE SURFACE OF MOON? WHAT SHOULD BE HISS MASS ON THE EARTH AND ON THE MOON? (ge = 9.8 m/s2 ; g
elena55 [62]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity at the place where the mass is) .

Man's mass = 80 kg

His weight on Earth = (80 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 784 newtons (about 176 pounds)

His weight on the Moon = (80 kg) x (1.63 m/s²) = <em>130.4 newtons</em> (about  29.2 pounds)

His mass is <em>80 kg</em>.  Mass is the thing about him that doesn't change. 
He has the same mass on the Earth, on the Moon, or anywhere.

the solubility product of lead fluoride is 3.6 x 10–8. what is its solubility in 0.10M NaF solution, in grams per liter
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

8.8 × 10⁻³ g/L

Explanation:

NaF is a strong electrolyte that ionizes according to the following reaction.

NaF(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq)

Then, the concentration of F⁻ will also be 0.10 M.

In order to find the solubility of PbF₂ (S), we will use an ICE Chart.

        PbF₂(s) ⇄ Pb²⁺(aq) + 2 F⁻(aq)

I                           0                0.10

C                         +S               +2S

E                          S              0.10 + 2S

The solubility product (Kps) is:

Kps = 3.6 × 10⁻⁸ = [Pb²⁺].[F⁻]² = S . (0.10 + 2S)²

In the term 0.10 + 2S, 2S is negligible in comparison with 0.10 and we can omit it to simplify calculations.

Kps = 3.6 × 10⁻⁸ = S . (0.10)²

S = 3.6 × 10⁻⁵ M

The molar mass of PbF₂ is 245.20 g/mol. The solubility of PbF₂ in g/L is:

3.6 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L × 245.20 g/mol = 8.8 × 10⁻³ g/L
