because it expands when it is hot
What is the new liquid used in athermometer than mercury?
Mercury is a liquid metal used in thermometers. However, it becomes a solid at -37.9 F and it can cause mercury poisoning if ingested or inhaled. Therefore, most theremometers use ethyl-alcohol or a plastic strip covered with liquid crystals (called a liquid crystal thermometer).
Mercury is the element commonly used in liquid-in-glass thermometers.
The liquid metal in many thermometer is mercury (Hg).
The predominate liquid used inside a filament transformer is mercury. Mercury is used to keep the transformer cool when under heavy use. Mercury is a cheap and long lasting liquid.
Barometers can use any liquid. A dense liquid that makes for a short column at room temperature, is mercury.
it can be used in therometres
If the liquid is silver, it is liquid mercury (Hg). If the liquid is red, it is coloured ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH).
Mercury is used in thermometers because mercury is the only liquid metal in room temperature. Hence our body temperature is observed by melting the liquid metal mercury due to our body temperature.
no there is not liquid mercury in ipods. one its un safe, and 2 theres no purpose for it in these devices
Mercury!
