Question

Why mercury is used instead of water in the experiment on anaerobic respiration?

Answer 1

Mercury is used in the experiments o demonstrate anaerobic respiration because: It is the only metal which occurs in liquid state and is a good conductor of heat. It does stick to the walls of the capillary and hence, gives accurate results. It has a uniform rate of expansion and contraction.
