What is the new liquid used in athermometer than mercury?
It's a liquid at room temperature is the main reason that it's special. It used to be used in thermometers but since they broke all the time and mercury is posion to humans in large ammounts and doesn't leave the body they are no longer made.
Mercury is a liquid metal used in thermometers. However, it becomes a solid at -37.9 F and it can cause mercury poisoning if ingested or inhaled. Therefore, most theremometers use ethyl-alcohol or a plastic strip covered with liquid crystals (called a liquid crystal thermometer).
Mercury is the element commonly used in liquid-in-glass thermometers.
The liquid metal in many thermometer is mercury (Hg).
Red liquid mercury does not exist; it is a hoax or myth. Mercury is a silver-colored metal that is liquid at room temperature, but it does not have a red form. Handling regular liquid mercury requires proper protective equipment and special precautions to prevent exposure to its toxic properties.
Barometers can use any liquid. A dense liquid that makes for a short column at room temperature, is mercury.
The predominate liquid used inside a filament transformer is mercury. Mercury is used to keep the transformer cool when under heavy use. Mercury is a cheap and long lasting liquid.
If the liquid is silver, it is liquid mercury (Hg). If the liquid is red, it is coloured ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH).
