Who invented water thermometers in 1593?
The first water thermometer was created during the 16th century. In the year 1593, Galileo Galilei did the existing thermoscope one step better and created a basic water thermometer. This newer version was the first type of thermometer to allow variations in temperature. Galileo found that, if he used liquid that was less dense than water, he could suspend those liquids in a vial of water, which would rise as the temperature increased. Galileo was able to take the information he discovered and develop a model of a thermoscope that used fine droplets of alcohol. These droplets maintained their cohesion in the water and would rise to the top as the temperature of the water slowly increased. There are those that believe the use of alcohol by Galileo later inspired the use of mercury.
How invented the outdoor thermometer?
The first outdoor thermometer was invented by Galileo Galilei in the early 17th century. He used a glass tube filled with a liquid, typically alcohol, that would expand and contract with temperature changes, indicating the temperature on a scale.
How much would you weight on mercury if you weighted 120 pounds on earth?
You would weigh approximately 45 pounds on Mercury if you weighed 120 pounds on Earth. This is because Mercury has lower gravity compared to Earth.
What planet has no moons and orbits the sun very fast?
That would be Mercury. Venus also has no moons, but does not move as fast as Mercury.
Would you weigh more or less on mercury than on earth?
You would weigh less on Mercury than on Earth due to its lower gravity. Mercury's gravity is about 38% of Earth's gravity.
Which thermometr will you take when you go to south expedition mercury or alchol?
An Alcohol thermometer would be the best as it is more sensitive than the mercury thermometer.
Why would you use alcohol thermometer rather then a mercury thermometer in the north pole?
because it would turn to ice and alcohol wouldn't
Why wouldn't you take a mercury in glass thermometer with you to south pole?
If I only had those 2 choices... I would use ALCOHOL since Mercury freezes at -38.72° Celsius. The North Pole can get down below -50° Celsius. Ethanol (alcohol) freezes at -114 ° Celsius Methanol (alcohol) freezes at -97.8° Celsius
Would you rather use alcohol or Mercury in a thermometer?
Alcohol is a safer choice for a thermometer liquid as it is not as toxic as mercury, making it safer for both human health and the environment. Mercury can be harmful if it leaks or is accidentally ingested, whereas alcohol is less harmful if exposed.
Does a Kelvin thermometer contain mercury or alcohol?
There is no mechanical difference between a kelvin thermometer and any other kind so I think it would be the same as other thermometers i.e. Alcohol (because it is not as dangerous as mercury)
You are planning to go to a very cold place where the night temperature drops to minus 50 deg c which thermometer will you take with you- mercury or alcohol and why?
I would take an alcohol thermometer because it can accurately measure temperatures as low as -70 degrees Celsius, whereas a mercury thermometer may not work reliably at such low temperatures. Additionally, alcohol is less likely to freeze at extremely cold temperatures compared to mercury.
Would you use alcohol or Mercury in a thermometer if you wanted to measure tempatures at the North pole?
Alcohol would be used in a thermometer to measure temperatures at the North Pole because it has a lower freezing point than Mercury. Alcohol remains liquid at colder temperatures, making it suitable for use in extreme cold environments like the North Pole. Mercury would freeze at the very low temperatures experienced at the North Pole.
Are alcohol thermometers better than mercury thermometers?
Both alcohol and mercury thermometers are effective for measuring temperature, but alcohol thermometers are generally safer to use due to the toxicity of mercury. However, mercury thermometers provide more accurate readings at higher temperatures compared to alcohol thermometers.
Where would you find the element mercury?
It's the red thing in thermometers. [wrong I'm sorry.] the red thread in a thermometer is coloured alcohol. If the thread is mercury, then it will be silver-coloured.
Why not mercury thermometer is used to measure temperature of hot milk?
It could be used to do this - it is capable of doing it. However, Mercury is poisonous and a mercury thermometer is made out of fragile glass. Thus the danger that the thermometer would break releasing mercury into the milk (which would be for a person to drink) means that a mercury thermomiter is not the temperature sensor to use in this instance.
If a thermometer breaks and the mercury goes in your pool is it dangerous?
Yes, it is dangerous if mercury from a broken thermometer enters your pool. Mercury is a toxic substance that can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, and it can contaminate the water in your pool. It is important to contact a professional to safely clean and remove the mercury from the pool.
Why cant you use a mercury thermometer to measure the melting point of gold?
The thermometer would melt
