    The boiling point of mercury is \[367{}^\circ C\]. A mercury thermometer can be used to measure a temperature of \[500{}^\circ C\]

    A)  by filling the space above mercury with oxygen at high pressure

    B)  by filling the space above mercury with nitrogen at low pressure

    C)  by filling the space above mercury with nitrogen at high pressure

    D)  by keeping the space above mercury as vacuum

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     In order to increase the boiling point, high pressure must be required. Hence, temperature can be raised to \[{{500}^{o}}C\] from \[{{367}^{o}}C\] by filling the space above mercury with nitrogen at high pressure.
