At 20°C the density of mercury is 13.6 g mL*and that of water is 1.00 g mL. At 20°C, the vapor pressure of mercury is 0.0012 torr and that of water is 18 torr. Select the best two reasons why water would be an inconvenient fluid to use ina Torricelli barometer. O A barometer constructed with water would need to be about 13.6 times shorter than a barometer constructed using mercury. O Using a water barometer, the measured pressure of a gas at 20 °C about 18 torr would be too high. O Using a water barometer, the measured pressure of a gas at 20 °C about 18 torr would be too low. O A barometer constructed with water would need to be about 13.6 times longer than a barometer constructed using mercury.
