What are the uses of lab thermometer?
A lab thermometer is used for measuring the tempurature of liquids in the science lab. :)
How do you you take temperatures for liquids?
you stick a thermometer in the liquid
What makes water wet?
Water is a wetting liquid but Mercury is non wetting so not the all liquid are wetting it depends upon Adhesive and cohesive forces , the liquids having strong adhesive force than cohesive become absorbed on a solid surface and that surface becomes wet but the liquids having strong cohesive force can not absorbed on a solid surface so material remains dry and such liquids are non wetting liquids as Mercury, so water is wetting liquid due to its strong adhesive force.
What liquids are used in thermometer?
Mercury and alcohol
Is a thermometer a graduated cylinder?
No, a thermometer is not a graduated cylinder. A thermometer is used to measure temperature, while a graduated cylinder is used to measure volume of liquids.
Two liquids most found in a glass thermometer?
mercury and alcohol
Which types of liquids should be used in a liquid glass thermometer?
fairy
Which instrument makes use of the fact that most liquids expand when they are heated?
A thermometer utilizes the fact that most liquids expand when heated. As the temperature of the liquid inside the thermometer increases, its volume expands, causing the liquid to rise within the narrow tube of the thermometer and indicating a higher temperature reading.
What is the difference between wetting agents surfactants?
Wetting agents help to reduce the surface tension of a liquid, allowing it to spread more easily over a surface. Surfactants, on the other hand, are compounds that lower the surface tension between two substances, such as a liquid and a solid or between two liquids. In essence, all wetting agents are surfactants, but not all surfactants are wetting agents.
Why is it inappropriate to stir a liquid with a thermometer?
Because that will mess with the temperature reading on the thermometer. And it would be dangerous if the thermometer is broken as there are dangerous chemicals (i.e.mercury) inside.
How do you measure the temperature in water?
You can measure the temperature of water using a thermometer specifically designed for use in liquids. Place the thermometer in the water and wait for it to stabilize to get an accurate measurement. Submerge the thermometer deep enough to get an accurate reading.
How can a parent curb bed wetting?
To help curb bed wetting I would suggest cutting back the liquids you allow your child to drink before bed time. Also making sure your child feels like they're in a safe secure environment.
