Why Mercury is used
used as a thermo-
metric liquid

Mercury is the only one in liquid state at room temperature. It's used in thermometers because it has high coefficient of expansion. Hence, the slightest change in temperature is notable when it's used in a thermometer. It also has a high boiling point which makes it very suitable to measure higher temperatures.

a is the answer

explanation:

which statement about trans-fatty acids is false?

a. the conversion of cis-fatty acids to trans-fatty acids is inhibited by the presence of antioxidants.

hope this

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).
