To begin the experiment, 1.11g of methane ch4 is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 1000 grams of water. the initial temperature of water is 24.85oc. the specific heat of water is 4.184 j/g oc. the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 695 j/ oc . after the reaction the final temperature of the water is 35.65oc.
using the formula waterq =m•c•δt ,calculate the heat absorbed by the water

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.

it is stable as it is in group 0 which have full outer shells of electrons
