When compared with water, mercury is preferred as a thermometric liquid because
- has a higher density
-
has lower specific heat capacity
- exhibits anomalous thermal expansion
- contains molecules which have very strong adhesive forces
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
Specific Heat Capacity of mercury and water are 0.14 Jg\(^{-1}\)C\(^{-1}\) and 4.186Jg\(^{-1}\)C\(^{-1}\) respectively.
