What factors can effect the density of water?
I assume you mean "affect". Water density can be affected by impurities. Assuming the water is pure, it can be affected by temperature, pressure, and isotopic composition.
Effect of impurities on surface tension of liqiud?
yes The presence of impurities either on the surface or dissolved in it, affect surface tension of the liquid. Highly soluble substances increase the surface tension of water, whereas sparingly soluble substances reduce the surface tension of water. The surface tension of a liquid decreases with increase in temperature. The surface tension of a liquid becomes zero at its boiling point and vanishes at critical temperature.
Why isn't the thermometer's bulb made of metal?
Metal has a high co-efficient of expansion and would show the wrong temperature by expanding to give more volume in relation to glass on heating and opposite effect when cooling
Do pool thermometers contain mercury?
Most pool thermometers do not contain mercury. An easy way to tell if a pool thermometer contains mercury is if it sinks to the bottom of the pool rather than float.
If you were to ignore water in the pan of the scale while measuring the mass of a mineral what would be the effect on your density calulation?
The mass of the sample would be over-estimated, so the quantity (mass)/(volume) would be over-calculated.
Does soluble impurities effect boiling?
yes
Effect of impurities on critical solution temperature?

What effect does the use of an uncalibrated thermometer have on the boiling point of a liquid?
The thermometer's reading of the point the liquid boils may not be accurate.
What effect if the mercury in the gas thermometer spilled?
just don't lick it
What effect would contaminating the sample with an insoluble impurity have on the melting point?
Soluble impurities (that is, impurities that are included within the crystal matrix) tend to lower the observed melting point and broaden the melting point range. Insoluble impurities have no effect on the melting point. Found from website: http://swc2.hccs.edu/pahlavan/2423L1.pdf
What is the purpose of a Thermometer ring stand holder?
Thermometer holder is a tool to hold the thermometer for taking the different reading of the body,liquid, or mass. So this holder helps to hold the thermometer,this holder is made up of such material(cork) so it does not effect the temperature of thermometer.

How does impurities in water effect its boiling point?
Depending on what is in it, the boiling point will either rise or fall.
What is the effect of pH on the freeziing point of water?
If the water contain impurities the freezing point is lowered.
How does water affect the melting temperature of a mineral?
Water does have an effect on the melting point of a mineral
What are the effects of impurities in water?
The result of impurities is that you create 'super material' because many pure materials are weak. So scientists often mix materials to create better materials that soot our needs better. e.g. stainless steel
