What else can I help you with?
You are trying to calibrate a celsius thermometer. when you place the thermometer into a beaker of boiling water what should the thermometer read?
The thermometer should read 100 degrees Celsius when placed in boiling water at standard atmospheric pressure.
Why do you use clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of boiling water?
There's actually no need to measure the temperature boiling water. If water is boiling, it will always be 100°. This is because boiling is a cooling process. As you apply heat, water molecules who want to boil, breaking free and enter the gaseous phase. When this happens, they take some of the energy that you imported into the liquid with them. Thus once the liquid reaches the boiling temperature water will continue to evaporate until there is no more water left. During this time, it will remain 100°.
What to use to measure the temperature of boiling water?
You can use a food thermometer or a candy thermometer for measuring the temperature of boiling water. Make sure the thermometer is heat-resistant and can handle high temperatures. Insert the thermometer into the water without touching the bottom of the pot for an accurate reading.
Why is temperature of boiling water cannot be measured using an alcohol thermometer?
Alcohol thermometers are not suitable for measuring the temperature of boiling water because alcohol has a lower boiling point than water. The alcohol inside the thermometer would evaporate before reaching the temperature of boiling water, therefore providing an inaccurate reading.
What equipment is used to determine the boiling point of salt water and sugar water?
A boiling point apparatus or device, such as a distillation setup with a thermometer, can be used to determine the boiling point of salt water and sugar water. This setup typically includes a heat source, a round-bottom flask to hold the solution, a condenser to collect and condense the evaporated liquid, and a thermometer to monitor the temperature as the solution boils.
Can we use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of boiling water?
No.
Why a clinical thermometer breaks when it is used to measure the temperature of boiling water?
Boiling is way far outside its operating range.
Why clinical thermometers are used to measure the temperature of boiling water?
Clinical thermometers are not used to measure the temperature of boiling water! They have a range of about 35oC to 43oC and they will explode at a temperature of about 100oC! Ordinary laboratory thermometers are used.
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.
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcholic thermometer?
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcoholic thermometer

What is the safe way to check the temperature of boiling water?
With a thermometer
What is used to find out how hot boiling water in science?
a thermometer

Could the above thermometer be used to record the temperature of boiling water?
No, the above thermometer cannot be used to record the temperature of boiling water. Most household thermometers have a limited temperature range that does not typically extend to the boiling point of water, which is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). To measure the temperature of boiling water, a thermometer with a higher temperature range is required.

What is the boiling point of water in degrees Celsius on a thermometer?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius and the melting point of water is 0 degrees Celsius
