What is the treatment for one who swallowed mercury from thermometer years ago?
If you didn't get treated years ago, then you were fine and are fine, the mercy won't effect you now if it didn't infect you then. It is something else.
When the temperature increases the level of mercury in the thermometre rises why does this occur?
When the temperature increases, the molecules in the mercury inside the thermometer gain kinetic energy and move more rapidly. This increased movement causes the mercury to expand, leading to a rise in its level within the narrow tube of the thermometer. The expansion of the mercury is a result of its thermal expansion coefficient, which is a measure of how much a material expands or contracts with changes in temperature.
Are alcohol thermometers better than mercury thermometers?
Both alcohol and mercury thermometers are effective for measuring temperature, but alcohol thermometers are generally safer to use due to the toxicity of mercury. However, mercury thermometers provide more accurate readings at higher temperatures compared to alcohol thermometers.
How can check refrigerator if its working fine?
Unless your refrigerator has a built-in thermometer, you would need to check it with a thermometer. Purchase of a refrigerator thermometer is highly recommended.
What happens to a laboratory thermometer if it measures more than 110 degrees?
I am not sure what sort of thermometers you have in your klab but a mercury-in-glass thermometer should be fine up to 350 deg C. Thermometers based on thermocouples can go very much higher. So the simple answer is that nothing happens.
What year is the Mercury in Mercury blues?
1949 Well hey now woman don't you look so fine Drivin round in your Mercury 49 Crazy bout a Mercury, Lord I'm crazy bout a Mercury I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
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.
What is a thermometer bore?
A bore refers to the extremely fine or narrow tube found in a thermometer. It is called a narrow bore or a capillary.
What are five requirements of an accurate mercury-in-glass thermometer?
Small volume of bore in which Mercury is stored, so it responds quickly for a small change of temperatureDouble walled Glass for easy readingMore # of divisionsLess resistence in the movement of mercury in capillary, so it responds fasterConstriction
What is the symbol of the planet Mercury?
Hg is the symbol. It stands for hydrargyrum which means water silver. It actually means "liquid silver" but anything close is fine to use.
Why the lab thermometer has very fine bore?
The fine bore in a lab thermometer allows for a quicker response time to temperature changes due to the reduced volume of liquid inside. This allows for more precise and accurate temperature readings in a laboratory setting. The fine bore also reduces the parallax error when reading the temperature scale.
What are the answers to the impossible quiz book chapter 3?
The answer to this question is "Fine", the only one of the options written the right way up, which makes sense since if you read the question upside-down, "Fine" is the only option that looks upside-down from that perspective.
