Equal volumes of mercury and glass have the same heat capacity . Calculate the specify heat of a glass piece of specific gravity 2.5 , if the specific heat of mercury is 0.0333 and its specific gravity is 13.6 .

What advantage is associated with low specific heat of mercury ?

What do you understand by the following statements. Specific heat of mercury is 0.033 cal//gm^@C .

Do diatomic gases have same specific heats as monoatomic gases ?

A piec of wax of volume 22 cc floats in water with 2 cc above the surface . Find the weight and specific gravity of wax.

Water rise to a height 10cm in a certain capillary tube whereas in the same tube the level of mercury surface is depressed 3.42cm. Compare the surface tension of water and mercury . Specify gravity of mercury is 13.6g/cc, angle of contract for water is zero and that for mercury is 135^@ ?

Calculate the amount of heat required to convert 10g of ice at - 10^@C to water at 5^@C (latent heat of fusion of ice = 80 cal g^(-1) , specific heat of ice = 0.5).
