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
What is the most suitable thermometer for measuring boiling point of water?
- a thermometer with mercury - a thermometer with thermoresistance
What can you use to measure the temperature of soup?
You can use a cooking thermometer to measure the temperature of your soup. These are special thermometers specifically designed to be used in food. The ones that are used for humans are not suitable for food because they contain mercury, which is a poison. If the temperature is too high for the thin glass, it will crack and spill lethal mercury into the food. The thermometers designed for cooking have no mercury and are usually electronic. Some electronic soup makers will also show the temperature of the contents while it is cooking.
What is used to measure in degrees Celsius Fahrenheit or kelvin?
Electronic balance
Why is the thermometer not suitable to measure the freezing point and boiling point of water?
Although a thermometer CAN be used its presence affects the temperature.
Why should you place a thermometer in your fish tank?
So you can make sure the fish has a suitable temperature
Which is the suitable thermometer for measuring the boiling point of water?
A good thermometer for measuring the temperature of boiling water is one that is calibrated so that 100oC is in the mid to upper range of the scale. A typical alcohol thermometer usually works nicely.
What are the properties which make mercury suitable for clinical thermometer?
Its a liquid at room temperature and it has a high rate of thermal expansion and contraction(changes volume with temperature).
How do you take a cow's temperature?
You stick a thermometer (one suitable for taking temperature from a human or animal) up the anus and hold it there for around 20 seconds.
What is mercury liquid is in a thermometer?
The liquid in a Mercury thermometer is ... Mercury. Mercury is an element which is liquid from -38.83 °C to 356.73 °C, making it useful for measuring temperatures for most of the environments we encounter in person. Below that range, mercury solidifies and we would have to find another liquid to use in a thermometer or find another way to measure temperature (such as a thermocouple). Above that temperature range, mercury starts to boil (unless kept under pressure) so it's not suitable for measuring high temperatures. In theory we could still use a liquid thermometer with something that is liquid at high temperatures, but it gets rather complicated and there are easier and safer ways to measure high temperatures.
What's the difference between a thermometer and a temperature sensor?
A temperature probe incorporates a thermocouple in its tip which gives a signal to a piece of electronic kit which translates the signal into a temperature figure. A thermometer is a direct reading instrument which usually incorporates a bulb containing mercury or another fluid, or it may use a bimetallic strip which bends under temperature changes. A thermometer is good for ambient measurements but not suitable for putting into small spaces or pressure vessels for example. A probe is more versatile.
How can you tell the water too cold for a red eared slider turtle?
Use a thermometer ! You, as a keeper, should know the temperature ranges suitable for a RES.
