What change takes place in the liquid inside a thermometer when the thermometer is placed into something cold?
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.
How do liquid thermometers work to measure temperature accurately?
Liquid thermometers work by using a liquid that expands or contracts with changes in temperature. The liquid is contained in a sealed tube with a scale marked on it. As the temperature changes, the liquid expands or contracts, causing it to move up or down the tube, indicating the temperature on the scale. This allows for accurate measurement of temperature changes.
Why does a can of pop expands when frozen?
This is an odd characteristic of water and water-based drinks, that the frozen form of it is less dense than the solid form of it. If frozen water sat in water, then it would float. if any other solid form of a liquid sat in its liquid form, it would sink. Water expands when it freezes, but most elements dont. The "water" inside these cans are already pressured, so when it expands when frozen, its too much for the can to handle and it bursts.
Does a liquid expand when frozen?
Yes, most liquids expand when they freeze. As the liquid cools and reaches its freezing point, the molecules slow down and arrange themselves into a more ordered structure, leading to an increase in volume. Water is one example of a liquid that expands when frozen, which is why ice floats on water.
Does an aneroid barometer use alcohol?
No, an aneroid barometer does not use alcohol. It uses a small, flexible metal box called an aneroid cell that expands and contracts based on changes in atmospheric pressure instead of using a liquid like alcohol.
What is a physical propertie of water?
its liquid and it expands when frozen.
Does a gallon of liquid water equal to a gallon of liquid water with ice cubes?
No, not exactly. Water expands when it is frozen, so a gallon containing only liquid water and a gallon containing a mix of liquid and frozen water will have different volumes when the liquid melts. That is, the second gallon will be less full, as the water contracts when it melts.
Matter expands or contracts to fill the space available?
Matter generally expands when heated and contracts when cooled. This is due to the changes in the kinetic energy of the particles within the matter. The expansion or contraction allows matter to adjust its volume to the space available.
What is really cool about water?
Water is the only liquid that expands when frozen.
What is thermal expasion?
Its when a liquid freezes and expands or contracts. Ex. Water when it freezes has more mass than the liquid
What thermal expasion?
Its when a liquid freezes and expands or contracts. Ex. Water when it freezes has more mass than the liquid
What happens to water when frozen that doesn't happen to any other liquid?
It expands

What is the thermometric property used in a mercury thermometer?
Not just a property of liquid but of all matter. All matter expands when heated and contracts when cooled, in thermometers the liquid, usually an alcohol, expands when heated lengthening the little line.

Does water expand or contract when frozen?
expands because hydrogen bond operates the molecules and increase the average distance between molecules
Compared to most substances water is unusual because when it goes from a liquid to a solid state it?
expands instead of contracts. This is due to water molecules forming a crystalline structure when freezing, creating a network that takes up more space than its liquid form. This unique behavior is why ice floats on water.
