Who created the liquid in glass thermometer?
The two most common liquids used in glass thermometers are mercury and alcohol, both of which were created by M. Nature. Alcohol thermometers are, or were, used in extremely cold areas like the Yukon, where the temperature could be expected to drop lower than -40 in the winter (-40 is where mercury freezes, and it is also the only temperature that is exactly the same on both Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers).
Why are alcohol thermometers not used for measuring high temperature?
The alcohol is volatile, and gas pressure will increase in the space above the liquid, making readings inaccurate (and threatening the integrity of the glass tube). Above about 78 °C (172 °F), ethanol-based thermometer liquids will boil, so these thermometers should not be used.
