Question: When a certain ideal glass thermometer is at room with a temperature of (25^{circ} mathrm{C}), the mercury level in the right arm is (245 mathrm{~mm})
When a certain ideal glass thermometer is at room with a temperature of \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the mercury level in the right arm is \(245 \mathrm{~mm}\) above the reference mark. When the thermometer is then dipped into a saline solution, the mercury level drops by \(25 \mathrm{~mm}\).
(a) What is the temperature of saline solution?
(b) Is your answer to part \(a\) sufficient enough to solidify a certain type of oil with a freezing point of \(2.77^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ?
