Question

Mercury is used in liquid thermometers because it has A) high specific heat and high conductivity B) high specific heat and low conductivity C) low specific heat and low conductivity D) low specific heat and high conductivity​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mercury has low specific heat capacity and low conductivity .. thats why it is the best metal to be used in thermometer ..

Mercury exists as liquid state and it has high value of coefficient of expansion so a little change in temp can change its volume ..

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Low specific heat and high conductivity
