Why is mercury used in thermometres?
Mercury thermometres aren't used much, because the mercury inside is poisones, But the reason that mercury used to be used is because Mercury expands rapidly, conserning the temperature e.g. if it gets hotter, the Mercury expands, so there is more of it.

What is the purpose of using coloured alcohol instead of using any other compound in thermometres?
Coloured alcohol, such as dyed ethyl alcohol, is used in thermometers because it has a lower freezing point and a wider temperature range compared to water-based solutions. This allows for accurate temperature measurements over a wide range of temperatures. Additionally, the color makes it easier to read and interpret the temperature on the scale.
