What elements are used in a thomomitor?
in a thermometer it is either murcury or ethanol, a type of alchohol
How does an air thermometer work?
An air thermometer has a bubble of liquid inside the tube and when the air inside of the tube heats up or cools down, the air takes up either more or less space inside of the tube, causing the bubble of liquid to either move upwards or downwards, indicating the temperature.
What is the scale on a thermometer to measure the temperature?
The scale is either Fahrenheit degrees or centigrade (Celsius, Kelvin) degrees. The Fahrenheit scale has 180 equal degrees between the freezing point of water (32°F) and the boiling point (212°F). On the Celsius scale, there are 100 equal degrees between these points (0°C to 100°C).
How does pressure affect a thermometer?
Heat is transferred thru the glass of the thermometer to or from the liquid (mercury) inside. The heat causes the liquid to either expand (hot) or contract. Since the large bulb end contains most of the liquid, but grass doesn't expand as much as the liquid, the expanding liquid forces itself up (if hot) into the narrow tube, which indicated the temperature. On the molecular level, particles outside the thermometer have a certain kinetic energy (KR) and the particles inside the thermometer also have a certain KE probably a different amount or they are already at the same temperature. Particles (either molecules or atoms) when in either the solid or liquid state, are constantly in motion (for solids, they just vibrate about a fixed, central position. Collision of the particles outside the thermometer and the thermometer itself cause exchange of some KE until the average KE of the outside particles is equal to the average KE of those in the thermometer. When this occurrs they are at the same temp. This change in KE of the particles in the thermometer causes more motion, and this extra motion causes what we call expansion. All molecules in the thermometer are pushing against each other with more force (KE).
When thermometer is laid ouside the sun does it measure suns temperature or air temperature?
If a thermometer is laid out in direct sunlight, it will not measure the temperature of the air surrounding it. It will measure the temperature of the heat directly reaching it.
Why should a clinical thermometer not be sterilize in boiling water?
Because clinical thermometer have a very small range. (20 to 45 degrees Celsius at most) and if placed in boiling water, the water being 100 degrees will cause damage to the thermometer.

either refund it for a new one, recalibrate it ,or it might be bad connection
What instrument measures body temperature?

There is nothing special about either scale
When do you insert meat thermometer before or after cooking?
unless your thermometer is designed to stay in the oven, check the temp when theturkey is nearly done.Most inexpensive grocery store thermometers are NOT designed to stay in the oven.
What is the fear of boiling water?
The fear of boiling water refers to either getting burned by the steam, or the boiling water.

Can you use a meat thermometer for foods other than meat?
Yea, why wouldn't you? It's still a thermometer either way.
What is it when a gas change to a liquid?
It can be called either boiling or evaporation.
What thermometer would be used to collect data over a twenty four hour period of time?
You can use the recording thermometer or the mercury thermometer, either one of those will work.

either mercury or alcohol
How does impurities in water effect its boiling point?
Depending on what is in it, the boiling point will either rise or fall.
