WHY MERCURY IS USED AS A MANOMETER LIQUID?

The mercury is used as manometer liquid for following reasons.

(i) It has high density so that mercury rise is reasonable for a pressure.

(ii) It is immiscible with the liquid flowing in the pipes.

(iii) It does not stride to the s/p of the tubes of the manometer.

(iv) The vapour pressure is negligible at from temperature.

(v) It does not react chemically with most of the liquids flowing through pipes.
