Thank you for all the help, but I can't tell when the temperature will reach it's max value. I've tried to do something like ## T=max <=> p V =max## , but I didn't get anywhere..

yes, sorry, I'm really tired. That's what i meant to say, that the max temperature and pressure are the temperature and pressure at the point that the gas starts pushing the mercury

Thank you. Here is the explanation: im sorry, i got it wrong. it was something like this ## p_1-p_0-h\rho g = 0## , so ## p_1=p_0 + \rho h g ## I'm thinking that the max temperature and pressure are at the initial point, when the gas has to push the biggest amount of mercury.

Homework Statement vertical glass tube with height of 2H. H is 760mm. the lower half is full of an unknown gas. the upper half is full of mercury. The gas gets heated so it pushes the mercury out of the glass tube. What temperature must the gas be heated to? here is the photo if, for some...
