it is dipped in alchol
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.
The red liquid in a liquid-in-glass thermometer is mineral spirits or ethanol alcohol mixed with red dye. A grey or silver liquid inside the thermometer is mercury. Mercury thermometers are not used anymore due to the dangers associated with mercury.
When a thermometer is placed into something cold, the liquid inside contracts and decreases in volume. This causes the liquid level to decrease, indicating a lower temperature on the scale of the thermometer.
It can range from mercury to alcohol it depends on the manufacturer.
When a thermometer is exposed to warmth, the liquid inside it expands and rises up the tube. This is because heat causes the molecules in the liquid to move faster, taking up more space and causing the volume to increase. The expansion of the liquid is used to measure the temperature.
It is dipped into a solution known as an antiseptic. This solution kills any living bacteria that may be present.
Dip it in achahol so it can get rid of germs.
A thermometer is dipped in a liquid before use to ensure that it is calibrated correctly and to avoid any residual temperature from previous measurements. Placing the thermometer under the tongue allows for accurate measurement of body temperature, as this area provides a consistent and stable environment that reflects core body temperature. Additionally, the sublingual region is easily accessible and minimizes the risk of external factors affecting the reading.
poti
When a thermometer is quickly dipped in hot water, it won't do anything. If you leave the thermometer in the hot water, the temperature shown will read higher. The temperature shown will not exceed the temperature of the water.
Mercury, and don't eat it.
Mercury the liquid inside thermometer is mercury.. but it is called thermometric liquid.
When the liquid in the thermometer gets warmer it expands.
to bring the temperature to the normal position.

The liquid in a Galilean thermometer is usually a clear alcohol, such as ethanol or methanol.
