If mercury and glass had equal coefficient of volume expansion, could we make a mercury thermometer in a glass tube?

A glass vessel measures exactly 10cm xx 10 cm xx 10 cm at 0^@C . It is filled completely with mercury at this temperature. When the temperature is raised to 10^@C , 1.6cm^3 of mercury overflows. Calculate the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury. coefficient of linear expansion of glass = 6.5 xx 10^(-6)C^(-1) .

Mercury does not wet the glass. Why?

A glass vessel of volume 100 cm^_3 is filled with mercury and is heated from 25^oc to 75^oc .What volume of mercury will overflow? Coefficient of linear expansion of glass= 1.8 xx10^(-6) c^(-1) and coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 1.8 xx 10^(-4) C^(-1) .

The volume of a glass vessel is 1000 cc at 20^@C . What volume of mercury should be poured into it at this temperature so that the volume of the remaining space does not change with temperature? Coefficients of cubical expansion of mercury and glass are 1.8 xx 10^(-4)C^(-1) and 9.0xx10^(-6)C^(-1). respectively.

A barometer reads 75.0 cm on a steel scale. The room temperature is 30^o C . The scale is correctly graduated for 0^C . The coefficient of linear expansion of steel is alpha=1.2 xx 10^(-5) C^(-1) and the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is sigma=1.8 xx 10^(_4) C^(-1). ? Find the correct atmospheric pressure.

In a constant volume gas thermometer, the pressure of the working gas is measured by the difference in the levels of mercury in the two arms of a U-tube connected to the gas at one end. When the bulb is placed at the room temperature 27.0^0 C , the mercury column in the arm open to atmosphere stands 5.00 cm above the level of mercury in the other arm. When the bulb is placed in a hot liquid, the difference of mercury levels becomes 45.0 cm . Calculate the temperature of the liquid. (Atmospheric pressure = 75.0cm of mercury).

The variation of volume V, with temperature T, keeping pressure constant is called the coefficient of thermal expansion is alpha=(1)/(V)((deltaV)/(deltaT))_(P) . For an ideal gas alpha is equal to

A barometer tube contains a mixture of air and saturated water vopour in the space above the mercury column. It reads 70cm when the actual atmospheric pressure is 76cm of mercury. The saturation vapour pressure at roon tempature is1.0 cm of mercury, The tube is now lowered in the reservoir till the space above the mercury cloumn is reduced to half its origina volume. Find the reading of the barometer. Assume that the temperature remains constant.
