What is the advantage and disadvantage of using alcohol in thermometer?
u don't have to flick the thermometer to reset the temperature reading when you use an alcohol based thermometer (unlike a mercury thermometer where you have to flick and flick and flick flick flick that thermometer for the mercury to be reset so that you can make an accurate reading) a disadvantage is that the alcohol thermometer is slightly less acurate The biggest advantage is that alcohol is not nearly as toxic as mercury, so that if the thermometer breaks, you won't be poisoned.
Why clinical thermometer often have oval stem in cross section?
Two advantage and two disadvantage of using alcohol and Mercury for thermome Two advantage and two disadvantage of using alcohol and Mercury for thermometer
What is the raw experimental measurement made when using mercury thermometer?
Using a thermometer we can measure the temperature.
Who invented the mercury and alcohol thermometers?
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer. Ferdinand II invented a thermometer using alcohol but it was very inaccurate.
How many minutes do you take a rectal temperature?
If using a mercury thermometer - about a minute. A digital thermometer - a few seconds.
What is the advantage between a bimetallic thermometer and an ordinary thermometer?
If you mean by an "ordinary" thermometer, a mercury thermometer, the bimetallic type can measure a far greater range of temperature (mercury freezes at -38oC and boils at 356oC making it useless in the polar regions or for measuring high temperatures).Bimetallic thermometers are also more robust; mercury thermometers are usually made from glass and are fragile.
Why you are using mercury in thermometer?
It has a reaction to temperature, so it'd be perfect for measuring it!
The function of a Mercury thermometer?
to tell old people that have a mercury thermometer what the temperature is
What is Mercury thermometer use to measure?
A mercury thermometer is used to measure temperature.
How are thermometer made?
It generally made using fluid which expand or contract linearly with temperature such as mercury, water or alcohol. Electronic thermometer use the relation of thermal property effect electrical conduction difference to measure temperature.
Mention any two points of difference between a clinical thermometer and an ordinary mercury thermometer?
A clinical thermometer will offer more precise calibrated readings than a mercury thermometer. The range of measurable temperature differs between a clinical and a mercury thermometer with the mercury thermometer having the wider range.
What the advantages using mercury in thermometer?
it expands at constant rate and has got high boiling point.
