What is the boiling point of the thermometer?
The question to ask is: What is the boiling point of mercury (as mercury is the substance within a thermometer, unless of course you are referring to the material that makes up the thermometer itself).You can simply google that.But...it's 356.7° C
What is the range of alcohol thermometer?
The alcohol thermometer is used to measure temperatures from negative 115 degrees Celsius to 785 degrees Celsius. It measures the freezing point and boiling point of alcohol.
Why are the temperatures of the melting point of ice boiling point of water called fixed point in calibrating the thermometer?
it is because they were consistent at melting and boiling point
What is an example of thermal expansion that you have observed in your daily life?
an example would be a thermometer. A thermometer because it has mercury in it. When you check a patients temperature with a thermometer ,the heat from the patients body will cause the expansion of the mercury and the mercury flows in the tube. It stops at a point and that point indicates the temperature in the patients body.
How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcholic thermometer?
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcoholic thermometer
What is the most suitable thermometer for measuring boiling point of water?
- a thermometer with mercury - a thermometer with thermoresistance
Where a thermometer should be kept in determining melting point of ice?
fordetermining point of ice,the thermometer should be kept
Why is the thermometer not suitable to measure the freezing point and boiling point of water?
Although a thermometer CAN be used its presence affects the 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 instrument measures boiling point?
You need a thermometer.
How do you check the temp of a transmission in a 2005 dodge sprinter van?
Scan tool or an infra red thermometer and point it at the case.Scan tool or an infra red thermometer and point it at the case.
Why cant you use a mercury thermometer to measure the melting point of gold?
The thermometer would melt
What will the mercury thermometer show when it is kept in ice?
The question must be asked carefully. If the thermometer is in water ice and there is no liquid water, and there is one atmosphere of pressure, the thermometer can read anything from the freezing point of water and lower, depending on the range of the thermometer. If the thermometer is in a stable mix of water and ice, it will read the freezing point of water.

What is the ice point on a thermometer called?
Depends on the scaling on the thermometer. 0°C 273.16K 32°F 459.67°R
What is the name of the scientific tool that measures the melting point?
thermometer
