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
Two liquids most found in a glass thermometer?
mercury and alcohol
Which types of liquids should be used in a liquid glass thermometer?
fairy
What liquids other than mercury and alcohol are used in a 6s thermometer?
gas from your mom
Is capillary action a product of adhesion?
The adhesive force of wetting liquids specially water is responsible for capillary action, the capillary action is not possible for Mercury.
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.
How does Mercury work?
Temperature affects the amount the mercury is spread out. Heat causes most liquids to expand, which is how a thermometer works. As heat around the glass protecting the mercury of the thermometer rises, the mercury expands and covers more room in the thermometer.
Why is water water?
Because water is a liquid and one of the main properties of liquids are that they are wet, water is also wet.Another reason is also because water is a compound meaning that the stuff that creates it (hydrogen and oxygen) lose their properties when thy are mixed together.Answer"Wet" is just a describing word that we use to describe something that has a liquid on or in it. So why does water act this way? Simply because it is a liquid and acts as suchWater 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.
Can mercury and alcohol mixed to become a thermometer?
Mercury and alcohol are not the thermometers but the liquids found in the thermometer they have different properties that make them uniqe for example alcohol is safe while mercury is poisonous,alcohol does not expand uniformly but has great expansion while mercury expands uniformly and has low expansion,alcohol is cheap while mercury is expensive,alcohol wets the glass while mercury does not.so alcohol can not combine to form a thermometer simply because they are the liquids found in it and not the thermometer itself.
