Some thermometers are made of a mercury column in a glass tube. Based on the operation of these common thermometers, which has the larger coefficient of linear expansion, glass or mercury?
The brass scale of a mercury barometer gives the correct length of the mercury column at 0°C. IF the barometer reads 740mm at 25°C, which is the reading when corrected for expansion of brass scale and for the expansion of the mercury (which decreases its density).
