Mercury is often used as an expansion medium in a


Mercury is often used as an expansion medium in a thermometer. The mercury sits in a bulb on the bottom of the thermometer and rises up a thin capillary as the temperature rises. Suppose a mercury thermometer contains 3.550 of mercury and has a capillary that is 0.220 in diameter.

How far does the mercury rise in the capillary when the temperature changes from 0.0 to 25.0 ? The density of mercury at these temperatures is 13.596 and 13.534 , respectively.
