What does a thermometer measure and how does it do it?
A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles. The word temperature comes from the Greek work thermo which is heat and meter to measure.
What types of equipment would be used to measure the boiling point of a liquid?
You need two tools. To measure the air pressure you use a barometer and to measure the temperature at which the substance boils you use a thermometer. The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
Why is it more difficult to measure temperature of a solid than a liquid?
You can insert a thermometer directly into a liquid, but not into a solid. You can fairly easily measure the surface temperature of a solid object, but that does not necessarily reflect the temperature inside.
What is a constant-volume gas thermometer?
A constant volume gas thermometer is a thermometer that uses the variations of pressure in gas at different temperatures to measure the temperature. A liquid can then be put into tubes, and rather than measuring the distance of a small quantity, the distance between two parts of the curving tube are used to measure the temperature.
What is the mass and capacity in liquid in a thermometer?
This depends on the thermometer model.
What measures the temperature of the liquid?
A thermometer will measure the temperature of a liquid.
What features a liquid thermometer and a lab thermometer have in common?
they both measure temperature
What features do a liquid thermometer and a lab thermometer have in common?
they both measure temperature
How a thermometer is used?
A thermometer is used to measure air temperature, or the temperature within a solid or liquid.
Can i use liquid crystal thermometer to measure level of gas in a cylinder?
A thermometer is not adequate in this situation.
What do scientists use to measure when liquid turns to a solid?
a thermometer
Ho does a thermometer measure temperature?
A thermometer measures temperature by using the liquid inside of the thermometer. It measures temperature by Celsius and Fahrenheit.

What change takes place in the liquid inside a thermometer when it is placed into somthing cold?
The liquid inside the thermometer "contracts" when it is placed into something cold. This means that it decreases in volume and increases in density. This is the reason that the thermometer can measure heat: the volume of the liquid inside the thermometer changes as a function of heat, and the amount of liquid in the "tube" of the thermometer changes as a function of volume. Because of this relationship, the level of the liquid in the tube of the thermometer changes as a function of heat.
A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to drop?
Water Temperaure cools
