a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.

Answer from: Quest

It is a mixture. simply put, a compound must be pure, that is, of only one chemical structure and composition. a mixture is made of different chemical substances (i.e. elements, molecules, compounds) that are not chemically bonded to each other, but instead physically grouped together, as in the case of gasoline (a homogeneous solution).

Radon-222 or rn-222 has a half-life of 3.82 days. to determine the fraction of an original sample of rn-222 that remains unchanged after 7.646 days, we calculate the amount of rn-222 remaining after 7.646 days and divide it with the original amount. using 1 gram as a basis and using half-life calculation methods, we can determine that 0.249 or 0.25 grams of rn-222 will remain, and thus the fraction remaining is 0.25 or 1/4.
