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 are Disadvantages of using data logger instead of mercury temperature?

Data loggers may also require more complex setup and calibration compared to a simple mercury thermometer. Additionally, data loggers may be more expensive upfront than a traditional mercury thermometer.
How does a thermometer work to measure temperature accurately?
A thermometer works by using a substance, such as mercury or alcohol, that expands or contracts based on temperature changes. This substance moves up or down a calibrated scale to indicate the temperature. The accuracy of the measurement is determined by the precision of the scale and the sensitivity of the substance to temperature changes.
