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
Why upper fixed point and lower fixed point are not 100 degree celsius and 0 degree celsius respectively of pure water in kathmandu?
The boiling point of water is dependent upon air pressure, and in Nepal, the high altitiude results in low air pressure.
What are the fixed references points on the celsius thermometer?
0 to 100 i think
What is the fixed point on a lever that does not move?
The fulcrum is the fixed part of a lever. (the pivot point)
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 determines the upper and lower fixed points of a thermometer?
Upper fixed point is the temperature of pure water boiling at normal atmospheric pressure.Lower fixed point is the temperature of a mixture of pure ice and pure water at normal atmospheric pressure. Each thermometer has a scale containing an upper and lower fixed points depending on the use of this thermometer for specific measurements.
What is the effect of mineral impurities of the upper and lower fixed point of a mercury-in-glass thermometer?
What is lower fixed point?
upper fixed point is a temperature of stem from water boiling and standards atmospheric pressure lower fixed point is the temperature of pure melting ice.
What do you mean by upper fixed point'?
The body
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 are the upper fixed point in Celsius?
The two fixed points on the Celsius scale are the boiling point and the freezing point of water at sea level. Boiling point- 212◦C, freezing point- 32◦C.HOPE THIS HELPED ^-^
Who built a thermometer based not one but two fixed points?
The Celsius scale is based on two fixed points: The freezing point of water at 0 degrees, and the boiling point of water at 100 degrees.
Why do you use pure ice in determining a lower fixed point of a thermometer?
If ice contains any other dissolved material, the freezing point of the mixture would be lower than the freezing point of pure water or ice.
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
General statement can you make about degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius?
1. The degrees are of different sizes. 2. The lower fixed point of Celsius is the freezing point of water, that of Fahrenheit is lower. Likewise the upper fixed point of Fahrenheit is quite low, but that of Celsius is higher, at the boiling point of water.
What is the most suitable thermometer for measuring boiling point of water?
- a thermometer with mercury - a thermometer with thermoresistance
Why upper fixed point and lower fixed point are not 100 degree celsius and 0 degree celsius respectively of pure water in kathmandu?
The boiling point of water is dependent upon air pressure, and in Nepal, the high altitiude results in low air pressure.
