You heat 100 mL of water and 1000 mL of water using 40,000 joules of energy. What would be the outcome of this experiment? * A. The 100 mL of water would be a higher temperature than the 1,000 mL of water.
B. The 100 mL of water would be a lower temperature than the 1,000 mL of water.
C. They would both be the same temperature.
D. There is not enough information

A. The 100 mL of water would be a higher temperature than the 1,000 mL of water.

Explanation:

Since the volume of water affects temperature, when the volume increases this results in a lower temperature. This means that the water with the smaller volume will have a higher temperature.

i believe you are right for all except the 3rd ( look at sqdancefan his answer is much better)

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.
