While mercury is toxic it is far more convenient to use in barometers since the height of the liquid will be minimal as the following calculation will illustrate. 1 mL of mercury (13.6 g/mL) placed into a cylindrical glass column is 1 mm tall. How tall would a column of water (1 g/mL be if ti were the same mass as the mercury column? Use equations for pressure to solve.
