What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of thermocouple and thermometer and mercury thermometer?
Thermocouples can measure a wide range of temperatures however accuracy is a common limitation. Thermometers give consistent results however they may become decalibrated easily. Mercury thermometers are extremely accurate but they cannot be used at temperatures below negative 38 degrees Celsius.
state properties that makes thermocouple very sensitive?
it measures temperatures between -250 and 1600 degree and it can measure a wider range of temperatures
Which thermometer would register a more accurate reading one with a maximum temperature of 110 degrees celsius or one that registers temperatures up to 300 degrees celsius?
You should use a thermometer where the average temperature you are measuring is somewhere near the middle of the range of your thermometer, and with the narrowest band possible that still keeps the limiting temperatures inside 10-90% of its range. For example, if you are measuring something that is expected to be within 95-105 degrees, you should pick a thermometer that reads 94-106 degrees, or something close to that. If you are cooking a turkey, this same 94-106 degree thermometer would be highly inaccurate.
Which range thermometer can be used to measure the temperature of boiling water in the smaller beaker?
A thermometer that can read up to about 110 °C and down to about 60 °C should cover all boiling points of water that you are likely to encounter in a laboratory. Realistically, you probably wouldn't need any wider range than 80 °C to 105 °C.
What is the temperature range of the mercury -in- glass thermometer?
Range is30 Degrees to 120 Degrees
Why is a clinical thermometer made to measure in only temperatures in this lower range?
A clinical thermometer - is designed to measure typical human temperatures. The 'normal' temperature of a human is 37 C (98.4 F). There's no point in using a thermometer that can measure a huge range - when human temperatures fall within a very narrow range.
Why can't a clinical thermometer be used to measure high temperature?
Because it has been designed to measure accurately over a narrow range of temperatures found in clinical medicine.
Why is the laboratory thermometer is not used to measure the body temperature?
A thermometer used to measure body temperature is extremely accurate over an extremely small range of temperatures. It will give the temperature to the tenth of a degree. A laboratory thermometer does not have the partial degree separations but gives the temperature over a much wider range of temperatures.

What is a range of a gas thermometer?
there is no particular range as i know but its used to measure low temperatures. so its more relevant for lab use.
Difference between clinical and a laboratory thermometer?
A clinical thermometer can only measure human body temperatures since it can measure no less than 35 degrees celcius and no more than 42 degrees celcius. An ordinary thermometer can measure and object or substance at any temperature. A clinical thermometer can only measure human body temperatures since it can measure no less than 35 degrees celcius and no more than 42 degrees celcius. An ordinary thermometer can measure and object or substance at any temperature.
What is the range of alcohol thermometer?
The alcohol thermometer is used to measure temperatures from negative 115 degrees Celsius to 785 degrees Celsius. It measures the freezing point and boiling point of alcohol.
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 is the difference between a Clinical thermometer and laboratory thermometer?
A clinical thermometer is used to measure the temperature inside your body. It need only measure between 95 and 105 Fahrenheit. A lab thermometer measure a much wider range of temperature.
Why can water remain within a narrow range of temperatures?
It has a high heat compasity
What is the smallest number on the thermometer?
It depends on the temperature range the thermometer was designed to measure
