A Galileo Thermometer Consists of a Cylinder Filled with a Known

Question 129

Multiple Choice

A Galileo thermometer consists of a cylinder filled with a known solution and several sealed glass bulbs partially filled with water.  Each bulb effectively acts as an isolated system.  If one of the bulbs has the same density as the solution at 25 °C, how will its position and the density of the solution change as the temperature of the solution decreases from 25 °C to 20 °C?
