Increases first and then decrease
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.
When calibrating any kind of thermometer in an ice water bath, the temperature should be 0o C or 32o F.
Generally thermometers are calibrated two ways . primary calibration or Secondary calibration. In secondary calibration , two thermometers are kept side by side under same conditions and identify the difference with respect to one thermometer. In primary calibration , thermometer that to be calibrated is placed in a ice cubes made of pure distilled water . Now pour some distilled water and stirr well . Now place thermometer inside that mixture This will give the Melting point temperature of pure water 0 degree centigrade. Now see the reading on thermometer and adjust reading. This way of calibrating a thermometer is accurate enough form most applications.
If both thermometers were at room temperature before you arranged them above and below the ice cube, then the one below should show a greater change, and sooner, than the one above. The ice cools the air around it, causing the air around it to become more dense than the air at room-temperature. The cool air then sinks, right past the lower thermometer.

fordetermining point of ice,the thermometer should be kept

WORKING: Place the bulb of the thermometer filled with mercury in a vessel ov small pieces of ice the mercury will arise in the tube and will come to rest at a certain point.this point shows the melting point of ice. CONSTRUCTION:A thermometer consists of a glass bulb filled with mercury.A cappilary tube arises from this bulb.Due to the narrow bore of the tube a small change in the volume of the mercury becomes significiantly visible.
no...........try it with a thermometer, just put ice in a cup, add salt then check the thermometer...........instead of going up, it will go down
You can.
It is calibrated by puttin it in some ice.
