When a thermometer is put into the freezer, the sudden change in temperature causes the glass to contract rapidly, which can lead to the glass cracking or shattering. Glass is not very flexible, and extreme temperature changes can cause it to break.

Why does the bulb of the thermometer break in the freezer?

The bulb of the thermometer contains liquid that expands when frozen, causing it to break under pressure. The glass cannot withstand the expansion of the liquid inside when exposed to extreme cold temperatures in the freezer, leading to breakage.

How do you calibrate a freezer thermometer?

To calibrate a freezer thermometer, you will need a glass of ice water. Place the thermometer in the ice water for a few minutes, making sure it does not touch the sides or bottom of the glass. The thermometer should read 32°F (0°C) in the ice water. If it does not, adjust the calibration nut or dial on the thermometer until it reads the correct temperature.

How could you calibrate a thermometer which had no scale marked?

Put it in a pot of water. Boil the water. Then mark the spot on the thermometer at which the water boils - the spot you marked will be 100 degrees celsius. Then put it in water in the freezer and mark it. The point at which the water freezes will be 0 degrees celsius. Then measure the length between 0 and 100 and make 9 equal marks for each 10 degrees and your thermometer is calibrated.
