What is the use of thermometer in the laboratory?
Measuring temperatures, i would guess.
Why does the clinical thermometer show degree Fahrenheit when India has adopted degree Celsius?
Each and every thermometer has both the scales that is Fahrenheit and Celsius both. Celsius is not specific for India. You can use the scale that you are comfortable with.
Why is there a need for us to shake the clinical thermometer prior to each use?
If the clinical thermometer is a mercury based thermometer, it needs to be shaken down prior to each use. This is because there is a pinch point between the mercury reservoir bulb and the capillary tube, to ensure that the mercury does not shrink back into the bulb after the temperature has been taken. The mercury has therefore to be shaken back into the bulb before another measurement can be made. One should note that in many countries use of mercury based clinical thermometers is now discouraged (because mercury is toxic) and electronic thermometers are used in stead - these do not need shaking.
What is the use of laboratory thermometer?
As well known, thermometer is an instrument used to measure temperature. Thermo is referred to heat and -Meter is referred to the measuring instrument. The laboratory thermometer is normally mercury based as it expands at a steady rate and has a higher density than water's. This allow it take a small height to expand compare to water which is 13.6x more than the height of mercury when it expands as their density are 13600kgm/s for mercury and 1000kgm/s for water. Furthermore, the mercury used is not poisonous and therefore is safe to be used by students at school. Laboratory thermometer is used to measure low temperature which is between -10 degree Celsius to 120 degree Celsius. This is because in school laboratory, the experiments we conduct just within a small range of temperature around the room temperature., which is about 27-29 degree Celsius.
What is thermometer in chemistry and its use?
Laboratory thermometers are used to measure temperatures or temperature changes with a high degree of precision. They are made of metal or glass and strengthened through processes such as thermal tempering or annealing.
Difference between clinical and a laboratory thermometer?
A clinical thermometer can only measure human body temperatures since it can measure no less than 35 degrees celcius and no more than 42 degrees celcius. An ordinary thermometer can measure and object or substance at any temperature.

What are clinical thermometers?
A clinical thermometer is a thermometer people use to check the average humans body temperature.
What liquid is found in a clinical thermometer?
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is often mercury. But there are thermometers that use a coloured alcohol.
Can you use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?
No The temperature of the candle flame is out of the temperature range of the clinical thermometer.
What is the use of a laboratory thermometer?
to analyzetemperature readings.
Why can you not use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?
We cannot use a clinical thermometer to measure temperature of a candle flame because then the mercury will expand too much and the thermometer will explode.

Why is a clinical thermometer usually shaken before use?
the thermometer is shaken before it is used because it is
