What are the uses of lab thermometer?
A lab thermometer is used for measuring the tempurature of liquids in the science lab. :)
Is a thermometer a graduated cylinder?
No, a thermometer is not a graduated cylinder. A thermometer is used to measure temperature, while a graduated cylinder is used to measure volume of liquids.
Which types of liquids should be used in a liquid glass thermometer?
fairy
What is a penetration probe thermometer used for?
A penetration probe thermometer is used to measure the internal temperature of food and liquids. It is typically inserted into the item being measured to provide an accurate reading of its temperature. This type of thermometer is commonly used in cooking, food safety, and quality control applications.
How do you you take temperatures for liquids?
you stick a thermometer in the liquid
Two liquids most found in a glass thermometer?
mercury and alcohol
What Kind of thermometer should you use for measuring liquids?
A digital probe thermometer with a long metal stem is ideal for measuring the temperature of liquids. This type of thermometer provides accurate readings and is easy to use for liquids such as soups, sauces, and beverages. It is important to ensure that the thermometer is immersed in the liquid but not touching the bottom of the container to get an accurate reading.
Is it a solid liquid or gas found in a thermometer?
Actually anything that won't freeze or boil at the operating range of the thermometer. The most common are mercury and alcohol.
Which instrument makes use of the fact that most liquids expand when they are heated?
A thermometer utilizes the fact that most liquids expand when heated. As the temperature of the liquid inside the thermometer increases, its volume expands, causing the liquid to rise within the narrow tube of the thermometer and indicating a higher temperature reading.
What is the name of the liquid in which thermometer is dipped?
The liquid in which a thermometer is typically dipped is called mercury. Mercury is commonly used in old-style thermometers, but newer thermometers may use alcohol or other liquids instead.
Which property do liquids that are used in thermometers share?
Liquids used in thermometers typically have a high coefficient of thermal expansion, which means they expand or contract significantly with changes in temperature. This property allows the liquid to rise or fall within the thermometer tube and indicate the temperature accurately.
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.
