Effect on thermometer reading if the thermometer is removed from the liquid when thermometer is being read?

It would depend on a contingency of variables. Being, how hot is the substance that it is being removed from, the temperature of the room, how long it takes from the time removed from the liquid until it is read, and the type of thermometer reading device.

∙ 13y agoThe liquid in thermometers expands when temperature increases (and contracts when temperature decreases). When it expands, the only place for it to expand 'to' is up the thermometer (into the empty space above it).

OMG never knew that!

What is the purpose of a Thermometer ring stand holder?
Thermometer holder is a tool to hold the thermometer for taking the different reading of the body,liquid, or mass. So this holder helps to hold the thermometer,this holder is made up of such material(cork) so it does not effect the temperature of thermometer.
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.
Why was it important not to let the thermometer rest on the bottom of the breaker?
to get an accurate reading of the liquid inside the beaker, the thermometer should not rest on the bottom of the beaker.
What happen to the liquid in a thermometer when it gets warm?
The liquid expand from heat. We use these expansion to indicate temperature. Common thermometer liquid is Mercury and alcohol.
Why does the doctor dip the thermometer in a liquid before use?
it is alcohol to disinfect the thermometer
What effect does the use of an uncalibrated thermometer have on the boiling point of a liquid?
The thermometer's reading of the point the liquid boils may not be accurate.

In a thermometer an indication the temperature is dropping is?
In a liquid thermometer the liquid will retreat towards the reservoir bulb at the end of the thermometer. In other types of thermometers - digital, dial, etc. - decreasing values of the reading are an indication that temperature is dropping.
Why was it important not to let the thermometer rest on the bottom of the breaker?
to get an accurate reading of the liquid inside the beaker, the thermometer should not rest on the bottom of the beaker.
Why should you leave the thermometer in the liquid while you are measuring its temperature?
The reading is not accurate if it is not in the liquid that you are measuring. Once you take it out, the temperature will be measuring the air.
What is the definition of liquid filled glass thermometer?
a temperature-measurement device whose operation is based on the thermal expansion of a liquid. Liquid-filled thermometers provide a direct reading of the temperature.
What is the liquid in thermometer's called?
Mercury the liquid inside thermometer is mercury.. but it is called thermometric liquid.
What causes the liquid to move in a thermometer?
When the liquid in the thermometer gets warmer it expands.
What is liquid-in-glass thermometer?
what do they use for the liquid in glass ball thermometer
Which device has a liquid in glass components?
thermometer
Describe how a liquid thermometer and a thermocouple are the same and how they are different?
Both are used to measure temperature, but by different means. A liquid based thermometer uses the expansion of a liquid with temperature to indicate the temperature, while a thermocouple uses electrical differentials at the junctions of dissimilar metals to do so. So in the case of the liquid thermometer the reading is position of a liquid in a tube, and in the case of a thermocouple it is a voltage measured with a voltmeter. Thermocouples may be better suited to measuring extreme temperatures.
