Is a mercury thermometer an analog device?
It is analogue as it can have more than one value unlike digital which has two main values which are 1 or 0.
Why Mercury thermometer is used domestically and alcoholic thermometer in lab?
Alcoholic thermometers are more accurate than mercury thermometers
How is digital thermometer is better than conventional thermometers?
Digital thermometers have the advantage that they are simpler to read and the electrical components used to make them are cheap, accurate, and reliable. An analog thermometer may have ambiguity when you read it because of angle of viewing, difficulty seeing, or many other things while a digital thermometer clearly outputs a single unambiguous number.
Why mountaineers carry alcohol thermometer with them rather than mercury thermometer?
mercury freezes at -39 and alcohol can be used under weather.
What liquids other than mercury and alcohol are used in a 6s thermometer?
gas from your mom
Would ethanol be better than mercury for an outdoor thermometer in the arctic?
Ethanol would be better because it has a smaller range.

What is the difference between a digital and a basal digital thermometer for taking temperatures?
The digital thermometer is less acurrate then the basal digital thermometer. they use different methods of working. iter than that there is no difference.
Why is the clinical thermometer shorter than the mercury thermometer?
Mercury expand more easily.so it need large space
Mention any two points of difference between a clinical thermometer and an ordinary mercury thermometer?
A clinical thermometer will offer more precise calibrated readings than a mercury thermometer. The range of measurable temperature differs between a clinical and a mercury thermometer with the mercury thermometer having the wider range.

Which thermometr will you take when you go to south expedition mercury or alchol?
An Alcohol thermometer would be the best as it is more sensitive than the mercury thermometer.
Why mercury thermometer is accurate than others?
Because mercury is very fast dissolving metal
How long should you keep the thermometer under your tongue?
You must hold your mouth closed and keep the thermometer in place for a certain period of time. If you have a digital thermometer, it will tell you when it's "done". If you are using an old "mercury thermometer", the thermometer must stay under the tongue for at least a minute to 2 minutes.NOTE: Mercury thermometers are being phased out. The mercury inside is highly toxic and you should dispose of all mercury thermometers by taking them to a recycling center that handles that. DO NOT THROW IT IN THE TRASH. Mercury is poisonous to every living thing.UPDATE: GERATHERM offers MERCURY FREE thermometers that work the same as the mercury ones. They are supposed to be safe.
Why does the mercury in the thermometer not spill even by moving it?
If the question relates to the tendency of the mercury to stay clumped together rather than separate inside the thermometer, it's due to the high surface tension of that element. Mercury can separate inside the thermometer, but its unusual for it to do that for the stated reason.
Why mountaineers carry alcohol thermometer with them rather than mercury thermometer?
mercury freezes at -39 and alcohol can be used under weather.
