What is the state of mercury in a thermometers?
Mercury in thermometers is in a liquid state, since mercury is liquid at room temperature.
This mineral is liquid at room temperature its best known use is in thermometers?
waterANS2:By definition, no substance fits that definition because a mineral is naturally occurring and solid at room temperature. What the question seems to be fishing for is elemental mercury. Elemental mercury does not occur naturally.
Is mercury a liquid at room temperature?
Yes. If you are talking about the thing in thermometers, yes, they are liquid.(metal- liquid) Mercury is one of the few metals that is a liquid at room temperature. Other metals, as you know, are solid at room temperature.
What is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature and what is it used for?
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is used in thermometers, barometers, and some electrical switches and relays.
Which metal has a high density and is a liquid at room temperature?
Mercury is a metal with high density and is a liquid at room temperature. It is commonly used in thermometers and barometers due to its unique properties.
What metal element is used to make thermometers?
Mercury is the metal element traditionally used in thermometers due to its ability to expand and contract uniformly with changes in temperature. However, due to its toxicity, mercury thermometers are being phased out in favor of digital alternatives.
What metal turns into liquid at room temperature-?
metals liquid at room temperature (25 degrees)Mercury
What type of metal is liquid at room temperature?
Mercury in thermometers: they expand and shrink but are still liquids inside the thermometer. It is still considered a metal and it is liquid at room temp.
What instrument measures room temperature?
A thermometer is commonly used to measure room temperature. There are different types of thermometers, such as digital thermometers or mercury thermometers, that can be used to accurately measure the temperature of a room.
What is the liquid metal found in thermometers that starts with the letter M?
There is only one metal which is liquid at room temperature and that is Mercury (symbol Hg).
Which Liquid and why is preferred in thermometers?
Mercury was traditionally used in thermometers due to its high thermal conductivity and wide temperature range. However, due to its toxicity, many modern thermometers use a safer alternative such as colored alcohol, which is less harmful to people and the environment.
Why do many thermometers use liquid?
A solid substance in a Thermometer would only show the temperature at it's melting point up to its gas point. they use a liquid so the temperature can be measured at room temperature with ease.
