The length of the mercury column in a mercury-in- glass thermometer is 5.0 cm at triple point of water. The length is 6.84 cm at the steam point. If length of the mercury column can be read with a precision of 0.01 cm, can this thermometer be used to distinguish between the ice point and the triple point of water?
