What devices contain mercury?
Thermometer or barometer
Which part of the thermometer contains the mercury?
The internal capillary contain mercury.
What can you use to measure the temperature of soup?
You can use a cooking thermometer to measure the temperature of your soup. These are special thermometers specifically designed to be used in food. The ones that are used for humans are not suitable for food because they contain mercury, which is a poison. If the temperature is too high for the thin glass, it will crack and spill lethal mercury into the food. The thermometers designed for cooking have no mercury and are usually electronic. Some electronic soup makers will also show the temperature of the contents while it is cooking.
Which thermometer is best for baby?
A digital thermometer is less 'intrusive' - as you don't need to hold it in place for any length of time (as you would with a mercury thermometer). Digital ones give you an almost instant reading.
What type of Thermometer is most likely to contain alcohol?
A mercury-in-glass thermometer is most likely to contain alcohol. However, due to safety concerns, many modern thermometers use alcohol-based solutions or other materials instead of mercury.
What does a thermometer contain water or Mercury?
If it's a silver liquid it's mercury, if it's red it's alcohol (not water)
Do pool thermometers contain mercury?
Some pool thermometers do contain mercury, but there are alternatives available that use different substances like alcohol or digital sensors. If you are concerned about the presence of mercury in a pool thermometer, look for options that explicitly state they are mercury-free.
What color is the Mercury in a Mercury thermometer?
Mercury in a Mercury thermometer is typically silver in color.
Is it a solid liquid or gas found in a thermometer?
Actually anything that won't freeze or boil at the operating range of the thermometer. The most common are mercury and alcohol.
What is the diffrerence between digital thermometer and mercury thermometer?
A digital thermometer uses electronic sensors to measure temperature and displays the reading digitally, while a mercury thermometer uses a column of mercury to measure temperature and has a calibrated scale to indicate the temperature. Digital thermometers are often faster and more accurate than mercury thermometers, and are also safer since they do not contain mercury.
What is a non mercury thermometers?
A non-mercury thermometer is a thermometer that does not contain mercury as the temperature-sensing liquid. Instead, it may use alcohol, galinstan, or other materials to measure temperature. These alternatives are considered safer for environmental and health reasons compared to mercury thermometers.
What is in the laboratory thermometer?
There are many kinds of thermometer in use. Liquid in glass thermometers usually contain alcohol (dyed red or blue) or mercury (silvery coloured).
