Who invented the mercury and alcohol thermometers?
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer. Ferdinand II invented a thermometer using alcohol but it was very inaccurate.
What is the liquid in a thermometer?
It can range from mercury to alcohol it depends on the manufacturer.
Is it a solid liquid or gas found in a thermometer?
Actually anything that won't freeze or boil at the operating range of the thermometer. The most common are mercury and alcohol.
What happens when you put a penny under your tongue and the a thermometer?
Putting a penny under your tongue while taking your temperature with a thermometer can alter the temperature reading. The metal of the penny may interfere with the accuracy of the thermometer, leading to an incorrect reading. It is always best to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use of the thermometer.
A is a thin glass tube with a bulb on the one end that contains liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
A is a thermometer used for measuring temperature, typically with mercury or colored alcohol as the measuring fluid. The liquid expands or contracts based on temperature changes, providing a reading on the scale of the thermometer.
What happens to a raw egg that is put in rubbing alcohol?
nothing happens
Is it safe to use rubbing alcohol in a simple thermometer?
No, it is not safe to use rubbing alcohol in a simple thermometer. Rubbing alcohol is a disinfectant and can affect the accuracy of the thermometer readings. It is recommended to use a thermometer as per the manufacturer's instructions.
What does alcohol in a thermometer rise in a result of?
The rise in alcohol in a thermometer is a result of the expansion of the alcohol due to increased temperature. As the temperature increases, the molecules in the alcohol move faster and spread out, causing the liquid to rise in the thermometer tube.
How does alcohol in a thermometer work?
Alcohol in a thermometer expands when heated and contracts when cooled. This change in volume causes the level of alcohol in the thermometer to rise or fall. By measuring the level of the alcohol, the temperature of the substance being measured can be determined.
Why does alcohol in a thermometer rise?
Alcohol in a thermometer rises whenever the temperature of its surrounding increases. As the temperature increases, the heat causes the alcohol to expand ever so slightly, which shows up as an increase of height of the alcohol in the tube of the thermometer.
What happens when you put a betta fish into alcohol?
It dies.
What's the liquid in a Galileo thermometer?
The liquid in a Galileo thermometer is usually a clear alcohol, such as ethanol or isopropyl alcohol.
Why the alcohol level in a thermometer goes down when it's cold?
When the temperature drops, the alcohol in the thermometer contracts and takes up less space. This results in the alcohol level appearing to go down in the thermometer.
What happens to the thermometer when the temperature goes up?
When the temperature goes up, the mercury or alcohol inside the thermometer expands, causing the level to rise. This increase in volume is directly correlated with the increase in temperature, allowing the thermometer to indicate the higher temperature.
What is the advantage and disadvantage of using alcohol in thermometer?
u don't have to flick the thermometer to reset the temperature reading when you use an alcohol based thermometer (unlike a mercury thermometer where you have to flick and flick and flick flick flick that thermometer for the mercury to be reset so that you can make an accurate reading) a disadvantage is that the alcohol thermometer is slightly less acurate The biggest advantage is that alcohol is not nearly as toxic as mercury, so that if the thermometer breaks, you won't be poisoned.
What liquids are used in thermometer?
Mercury and alcohol
What is an alcohol thermometer used for?
An alcohol thermometer is used to measure temperature by the expansion and contraction of the alcohol in the thermometer's tube. It is commonly used in lab settings, homes, and industries to measure temperature accurately within a specific range.
