Why do you use liquids not solids or gases in thermometers?
because liquids can give us the right temperature but solids and gases
On what principal do most thermometer work?
Most thermometers work on the principle that elements and compounds expand as their temperature increases. Liquids or solids that expand at a constant rate over the desired temperature range are used so that the amount they have expanded can be measured and compared against known expansion rates to determine the temperature.
How a liquid thermometer works using thermal expansions?
In the right conditions and circumstances all liquids will expand
Does spirit and water evaporate at same rate?
Liquids differ in the rate at which they evaporate.
Determination of rate of evaporation of different liquids?
There are many factors in determining the rate of evaporation of different liquids. Some of the determining factors are rate of air flow, surface area size, temperature, concentration of the liquid, how tightly the liquid molecules bond to one another, and more.
How come liquids don't freeze at the same rate?
OK well, liquids expand at cold temperature while other matter contracts at cold temp. so the liquids expand and turn into ice. I need more info, How come liquids don't freeze at the same rate as what
Do all solids expand and contract by the same amount?
No. The rate of expansion/ contraction varies from one material to the next.
What is distortion in welding?
it moves Because almost all Elements expand when heated and contract when cooled. As you are welding the metal at that location is trying to expand because of the heat. Ahead of the weld area the metal isn't moving. Behind the weld area the metal is trying to contract as it cools. If the whole weld could be heated at once it would expand then contract at the same rate without distortion.
How do you take the respiration rate of a corn snake?
You need to watch its body carefully. You'll see the snake's body expand and contract as it breathes.

Why do object expand?
Objects contract or expand depending on the temperature. Cold makes things contract, heat makes things expand. However, there are some exceptions. For example, water expands when it turns to ice. This is due to the process of crystallization. The reason that objects expand and contract is found at the atomic level. When an object is warm, its molecules move faster and spread out, making that object expand. However, when an object is cold, the atoms slow down and move back together, making the object contract.

Is the rate at which the universe is expanding increasing or decreasing?
The true speed isn't known, but scientists believe it is happening over billions and billions of years for one cycle of expand and contract to be completed.
Does diffusion happen best in liquids?
The rate of diffusion is fastest is gasses, but as we can't see the gases ,it can be seen it liquids, but in liquids the rate of diffusion is comparatively slower than gasses and it can be easily observed....
Do all liquids evaporate the same rate?
No
Can certain liquids affect a persons heart rate?
Certain liquids can greatly affect a person's heart rate. Someone that drinks a lot of caffeine may notice an increased heart rate.
