Which thermometer would register a more accurate reading one with a maximum temperature of 110 degrees celsius or one that registers temperatures up to 300 degrees celsius?

You should use a thermometer where the average temperature you are measuring is somewhere near the middle of the range of your thermometer, and with the narrowest band possible that still keeps the limiting temperatures inside 10-90% of its range.
For example, if you are measuring something that is expected to be within 95-105 degrees, you should pick a thermometer that reads 94-106 degrees, or something close to that.
If you are cooking a turkey, this same 94-106 degree thermometer would be highly inaccurate.

What is the function of thermometer in laboratory?
A thermometer is used for measuring accurate temperatures. Also using the degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Thermometer is better than finger for assesing temperature in liquid why?
Because your finger doesn't give you a number for temperature. And also, if the liquid is quite warm, it can burn your finger obviously. The thermometer on the other hand is made to deal with extreme temperatures, unlike your finger. It gives a precise, almost accurate reading of the temperature.
Define vapor pressure thermometer?
A thermometer which utilizes a gas(vapor) to react to temperature changes for an accurate reading. (Instead of a hazardous material such as a mercury filled thermometer.)
When thermometer is laid ouside the sun does it measure suns temperature or air temperature?
If a thermometer is laid out in direct sunlight, it will not measure the temperature of the air surrounding it. It will measure the temperature of the heat directly reaching it.

A thermometer is used for measuring accurate temperatures. Also using the degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Why is the laboratory thermometer is not used to measure the body temperature?
A thermometer used to measure body temperature is extremely accurate over an extremely small range of temperatures. It will give the temperature to the tenth of a degree. A laboratory thermometer does not have the partial degree separations but gives the temperature over a much wider range of temperatures.

Why it is important the luquid in the thermometer has uniformly?
It is important for the liquid in the thermometer to be uniform for accurate measurements. If a thermometer is not calibrated properly, it will detect measurements in temperatures that are inaccurate.
How do you determine temperature to the nearest degree?
You use an accurate thermometer.
How do you read temperature on fish tank?
The sticker type thermometers are not very accurate and tend to be affected by external temperatures. To better monitor your tank water temperature, you can buy a thermometer that sticks on the inside with suction cups

What make's a good thermometer?
All we ask of a thermometer is to be accurate in measuring temperature. Although different kinds of thermometers can be used for different temperature ranges.
What are the uses of ear thermometer?
The eardrum, because it is recessed and less affected by external temperatures, is an extremely accurate point to measure body temperature. It is actually quicker than using a traditional glass medical thermometer. with the risk of the glass tube breaking.
Do you get the accurate temperature reading from the forehead if it is wet?
If you are referring to using a surface thermometer, no.
How accurate is a thermometer?
There are a variety of thermometers, and they can be extremely accurate. Sometimes scientists need to measure temperature to the thousandth of a degree Kelvin.
