Why is it inappropriate to stir a liquid with a thermometer?
Because that will mess with the temperature reading on the thermometer. And it would be dangerous if the thermometer is broken as there are dangerous chemicals (i.e.mercury) inside.
What change takes place in the liquid inside a thermometer when the thermometer is placed into something cold?
When a thermometer is placed into something cold, the liquid inside contracts and decreases in volume. This causes the liquid level to decrease, indicating a lower temperature on the scale of the thermometer.
What happen to the liquid in a thermometer when it gets warm?
When a thermometer is exposed to warmth, the liquid inside it expands and rises up the tube. This is because heat causes the molecules in the liquid to move faster, taking up more space and causing the volume to increase. The expansion of the liquid is used to measure the temperature.
What is the name of the liquid in a thermometer?
The red liquid in a liquid-in-glass thermometer is mineral spirits or ethanol alcohol mixed with red dye. A grey or silver liquid inside the thermometer is mercury. Mercury thermometers are not used anymore due to the dangers associated with mercury.
Why was it important not to let the thermometer rest on the bottom of the breaker?
It is important not to let the thermometer rest on the bottom of the beaker because the bottom can be heated unevenly leading to inaccurate temperature readings. Placing the thermometer in the liquid away from the bottom ensures a more accurate measurement of the liquid's temperature.
What is the liquid in thermometer's called?
Mercury the liquid inside thermometer is mercury.. but it is called thermometric liquid.
What causes the liquid to move in a thermometer?
When the liquid in the thermometer gets warmer it expands.
Which device has a liquid in glass components?
thermometer
What is the liquid in a Galilean thermometer?
The liquid in a Galilean thermometer is usually a clear alcohol, such as ethanol or methanol.
What liquid is in a Galileo thermometer?
The liquid in a Galileo thermometer is usually a clear, alcohol-based solution.
What is the liquid in the ball of the thermometer?
the liguid inside the thermometer is Mercury.
What is the mass and capacity in liquid in a thermometer?
This depends on the thermometer model.
What liquid is typically used in a Galilean thermometer?
The liquid typically used in a Galilean thermometer is colored alcohol.
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.
Why is it inappropriate to stir a liquid with a thermometer?
Because that will mess with the temperature reading on the thermometer. And it would be dangerous if the thermometer is broken as there are dangerous chemicals (i.e.mercury) inside.
What is liquid-in-glass thermometer?
A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a type of thermometer that consists of a glass tube filled with a liquid, typically mercury or alcohol, which expands or contracts with changes in temperature. The level of the liquid in the tube corresponds to the temperature, allowing for temperature measurement.
What liquid is found in a clinical thermometer?
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is often mercury. But there are thermometers that use a coloured alcohol.
