Can you measure the temperature of a flame of a Bunsen burner using a thermometer?

Yes, and No. You will get an inaccurate number since of air temperature and a few variables, but it will be relatively close. I do not recommend this, because a few things may happen, and even some I do not even know of. The thermometer will get hot and melt. Or explode. And many other things can happen.

What happen to solid when they absorbs heat?

Such a solid will either: a) Increase in temperature b) Melt c) or both


Why is it incorrect to talk about the flow of temperature from hot object to a colder object?

That's because the correct word is "heat" (instead of "temperature"). It is heat energy that goes from one object to the other; temperature is what's measured by the thermometer, and it may well happen, in some cases, that the temperature doesn't even change for a while, even if heat energy is added or removed.


How does an increase or decrease in temperature affect density?

Usually, an increase in temperature will result in a decrease in density, and vice versa. (There are exceptions, but they are very rare.)The amount by which this happens is the coefficient of thermal expansion. If it doesn't happen (like for borosilicate glass, used for test tubes) the coefficient is zero. If it works backwards (higher density with higher temperature, like water between 32-40 degrees F), the coefficient is negative.

How does a horse thermometer work?

A horse thermometer works exactly like a human thermometer only it is inserted into the horses rectum to take the temperature. It is attached to a cord so if the horse accidentally pulls it into the rectum (which does happen) it can be removed safely.
