What is the liquid in a thermometer?

gas thermometer are more sensitive then liquid thermometer

what is the red liquid in the thermometer called

Mercury the liquid inside thermometer is mercury.. but it is called thermometric liquid.

what do they use for the liquid in glass ball thermometer

When the liquid in the thermometer gets warmer it expands.

This bulb contain the liquid.

The liquid will be an antiseptic or alcohol to sterilise the thermometer.

liquid thermometer measures the lowest temperature while air thermometer measures the lowest temperature of the day. liquid uses liquid and air uses air.

A liquid thermometer measures lowest temperature while air thermometer measures lowest temperature of the day!! Hope this helps

As the liquid in the thermometer is heated it expands, and the only way the expanding liquid can go is upward. As the liquid in the thermometer cools, it will contract, and the liquid will fall back down into the resevoir, causing the column of liquid to move downward.

what is teh desirable properties of using liquid crystal thermometer?

A liquid thermometer actually measures the thermal expansion of the liquid (mercury).

1. Liquid Thermometer 2. Bimetallic Thermometer

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…

In a thermometer is a liquid metal called Mercury, so the liquid expands when it is heated up.

the temparature of the liquid must be read while the thermometer is in the liquid.since the level of mercury drops as soon as the thermometer is taken out of the liquid ,therefore no need of the kink in thermometer.

The doctor dips the thermometer into a liquid metal named mercury to make the temparature of the thermometer fall down.

the liguid inside the thermometer is Mercury.

This depends on the thermometer model.

Because the thermometer can be broken !

You put a thermometer in it, for at least a minute, and then read the thermometer with the bulb still in the liquid.

The liquid in a clinical thermometer is often mercury. But there are thermometers that use a coloured alcohol.

A so-called "glass" thermometer has a small bore-hole in the center of the glass that has some liquid in it. It's the activity of the liquid in the narrow hole that makes the thermometer a thermometer.

The liquid expand from heat. We use these expansion to indicate temperature. Common thermometer liquid is Mercury and alcohol.

The thermometer works by measuring the temperature of the air or liquid around it. The substance being tested will heat or cool down the liquid in the thermometer to the temperature that it is.

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.

Place the thermometer in the liquid you are measuring. Wait until the temperature stabilizes, and then read the thermometer at eye level, just like you would a graduated cylinder, except that there's no meniscus. If you are measuring a liquid that is being heated over a Bunsen burner, you should have the thermometer held in place with a thermometer clamp. You should have the thermometer positioned about halfway down in the liquid.

to get the thermometer at room temperature.

The only way that the mass can change is if matter is added or taken away. The volume of a liquid can increase if heated, such as the liquid inside of a thermometer. The thermometer is sealed and no liquid gets in or out, so the mass of the liquid is unchanged. But when the temperature goes up, the liquid expands and is forced to go up the thermometer.

They are both have diffrnet skills like one measures air and one measures liquid

1. Alcohol or spirit thermometer 2. Mercury thermometer 3. Liquid crystal thermometer 4. Quartz thermometer 5. Reversing thermometer 6. Resistance thermometer

they both messure tempatures

it is alcohol to disinfect the thermometer

they both measure temperature

A thermometer will measure the temperature of a liquid.

When the liquid in a thermometer is warmed, the liquid (mercury) rises higher and tells us that the temperature is rising, therefore, when the liquid is cold, it will lower. Also, the reason why the liquid can lower and rise is because of the humidity and air pressure.

No, heating a liquid makes it's particles move farther apart (makes the liquid expand). This is most readily observed in an old glass thermometer. As your temperature goes up (as you heat the liquid in the thermometer), the liquid inside expands and travels up the thermometer.

When temperature goes up the liquid expands. The liquid then takes up more space and you see this as a rise in scale on the thermometer. The same applies vise versa

Because that liquid in thermometer is actually a kind of metal called mercury (atomic symbol Hg). And like all metals it expand when heated. Hot water contains heat. --------------------------------------------- Because the liquid in the thermometer expands when it is warmed. As it expand it takes up more space and therefore rises up the measuring tube of the thermometer.There is liquid in some thermometer but, most have chemicals in it!!!!!!!!!!!

For a classic thermometer: glass and mercury, colored ethanol or another liquid.

the red liquid in the themometers is mercury.

Mercury and alcohol [liquid elements]

A thermometer measures temperature by using the liquid inside of the thermometer. It measures temperature by Celsius and Fahrenheit.

it is used in liquid form as in room temperature the mercury is in liquid

fever thermometer is used by the doctors and they are adjusted to body temperature whereas lab thermometer is adjusted to liquid temperature

a lab thermometer did not have a constriction as compared to clinical thermometer. it have a wide range of measurement and usually contains alcohol

Hg is liquid at room temperature. If you take a look to a thermometer; there is mercury in the thermometer and it's liquid that's why it can go up.

We cannot use other liquids in thermometer since it may not have a wide range of temperature for remaining in the liquid state. It may stick to the glass of the thermometer. It may be transparent. The liquid may not be sensitive to thermal expansion and may not have a uniform expansion with heat. The liquid may not be a good conductor of heat.The liquid may not be found in pure form. Hence mercury is…

no ---- The thermometer contain air or nitrogen above the liquid.

A thermometer is used to measure air temperature, or the temperature within a solid or liquid.
