Problem- Mercury is often used as an expansion medium in a thermometer. The mercury sits in a bulb on the bottom of the thermometer and rises up a thin capillary as the temperature rises. Suppose a mercury thermometer contains 3.500g of mercury and has a capillary that is 0.220mm in diameter.

How far does the mercury rise in the capillary when the temperature changes from 0.0 C to 25.0 C. The density of mercury at these temperatures is 13.596 g/cm3 and 13.534 g/cm3, respectively.

If possible just a brief explanation how you got the answer?
