We cannot use other liquids in thermometer since it may not have a wide range of temperature for remaining in the liquid state. It may stick to the glass of the thermometer. It may be transparent. The liquid may not be sensitive to thermal expansion and may not have a uniform expansion with heat. The liquid may not be a good conductor of heat.The liquid may not be found in pure form. Hence mercury is the best liquid as a thermometric liquid.
What else can I help you with?
What are the materials in a thermometer?
For a classic thermometer: glass and mercury, colored ethanol or another liquid.
What liquid is found in a clinical thermometer?
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is often mercury. But there are thermometers that use a coloured alcohol.
What liquid metal is use in the thermometer?
Mercury
What liquid metal was commonly used in thermometer?
We still use colored alcohol for our liquid in everyday thermometers.
What is liquid-in-glass thermometer?
A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a type of thermometer that consists of a glass tube filled with a liquid, typically mercury or alcohol, which expands or contracts with changes in temperature. The level of the liquid in the tube corresponds to the temperature, allowing for temperature measurement.
Can i use liquid crystal thermometer to measure level of gas in a cylinder?
A thermometer is not adequate in this situation.
Why is it inappropriate to stir a liquid with a thermometer?
Because that will mess with the temperature reading on the thermometer. And it would be dangerous if the thermometer is broken as there are dangerous chemicals (i.e.mercury) inside.
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 do scientists use to measure when liquid turns to a solid?
a thermometer
What tool would you use to determine the temperature of a liquid?
Thermometer
Why is the bulb of a thermometer the most important part of a liquid thermometer?
you can use two main liquid substances in a bulb of a thermometer - the one i can remember -alchol-another one i am almost certain of -mercury- i am sorry if the later one is incorrect -if you do know the awnser i would appecheate if you conferm it for me .Remember you do not need to be a member or do anything to write an awnser .
Why is rubbing alcohol a good liquid to use in a simple thermometer?
Rubbing alcohol is a good liquid to use in a simple thermometer because it expands when heat ia added to it. When cold temperatures are added to it, it regroupes.
