Why is it mercury rather than water used in barometer and in blood pressure measurements?

A water barometer would have to be many feet tall because the density of water is much lower than that of mercury. In addition, the vacuum above the column would be spoiled by the water vapor pressure, far higher than that of mercury, and strongly temperature dependent.


Why was mercury chose for a job in barometres?

Pressure in these things is measured by how tall a column of liquid it can support. Now atmospheric pressure can support many feet of oil, for example, and who wants a barmeter that tall? Mercury is very dense so you can get away with less than a metre high. Problem solved.
