What does a thermometer contain water or Mercury?
If it's a silver liquid it's mercury, if it's red it's alcohol (not water)
What is the clear liquid inside a Galileo thermometer?
mercury
What was the first liquid used in a thermometer?
The first thermometer was a tube filled with water and air.
Which liquid will boil last water or mercury or alcohol?
water
What are the four kinds of thermomether?
1. Alcohol or spirit thermometer 2. Mercury thermometer 3. Liquid crystal thermometer 4. Quartz thermometer 5. Reversing thermometer 6. Resistance thermometer
What do water oil mercury and alcohol have in common?
They are All Liquid
Are alcohol thermometers better than mercury thermometers?
They both have advantages and disadvantages: A mercury-in-glass thermometer can measure high temperature (up to 357 0C, the boiling point of mercury; and its freezing point is -39 0C). An alcohol-in-glass thermometer can measure low temperature (down to -115 0C, the freezing point of alcohol; and its boiling point is 78 0C.) A mercury-in-glass thermometer can quickly response to temperature, while an alcohol-in-glass thermometer can only slowly response to temperature. However, mercury is poisonous and alcohol is NOT poisonous. Also mercury thermometers are not allowed on aircraft.
How are thermometer made?
It generally made using fluid which expand or contract linearly with temperature such as mercury, water or alcohol. Electronic thermometer use the relation of thermal property effect electrical conduction difference to measure temperature.
What will the mercury thermometer show when it is kept in ice?
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.
Who made the first water thermometer?
Galileo Galilei invented the first water thermometer. He created it by adding droplets of alcohol in the water. This is so the liquid is less denser and can detect changes in temperature.
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcholic thermometer?
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcoholic thermometer
Which matter remains liquid at room temperature?
Alcohol, water, oil, and mercury come to mind.
