Asubstance that can be separated into two or more substances only by a chemical change is a

Explanation:

Compounds are pure substances formed by two or more different kind of atoms.

For example, H₂O, and CaCO₃ are compounds.

Elements can not be separated into other substances by a chemical change. The process to change an element into other substance (different element) is a nuclear reaction (transmutation).

Mixtures are not pure substances and can be separated into other substances by physical changes: for example, a brine can be separated into salt and water by evaporation.

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
