What happens when you put a penny under your tongue and the a thermometer?
Putting a penny under your tongue while taking your temperature with a thermometer can alter the temperature reading. The metal of the penny may interfere with the accuracy of the thermometer, leading to an incorrect reading. It is always best to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use of the thermometer.
What is the name of the silver metal in a thermometer?
The silver-colored liquid inside a thermometer is typically mercury, which is a heavy metal that expands and contracts with changes in temperature, allowing the thermometer to measure and display the temperature accurately.
What is the type of metal that is always in a liquid state?
No metals always in a liquid state. There is always some temperature where a metal is liquid ("molten").
What is a thin glass tube with bulb on one end that contains a liquid?
Thermometer. They contain Mercury which is a metal.
Which substances are always formed when an acid reacts with metal?
When an acid reacts with a metal, hydrogen gas is always formed as a product along with a salt specific to the metal and acid involved in the reaction.

How does a thermometer work?
A thermometer works by measuring the temperature of an object or environment using a liquid or metal that expands or contracts with changes in temperature. This causes the level of the liquid or the length of the metal to change, which is then converted into a temperature reading on a scale.
What is a vane thermometer?
A vane thermometer is a type of thermometer that uses a metal pointer or vane to indicate temperature. The vane moves along a scale to show the temperature reading. It is commonly used in meteorology to indicate the temperature of the air.
What is the sSensor in Mercury-in-glass thermometer?
The sensor in a mercury-in-glass thermometer is the glass bulb at the base of the thermometer containing the mercury. The temperature is measured by the expansion or contraction of the mercury based on the surrounding temperature, allowing the thermometer to provide a temperature reading.
Is a mercury in a thermometer shiny?
No, the mercury inside a thermometer is a silvery-white liquid metal at room temperature, so it has a shiny appearance.
What is the name of the silver metal in a thermometer?
The silver-colored liquid inside a thermometer is typically mercury, which is a heavy metal that expands and contracts with changes in temperature, allowing the thermometer to measure and display the temperature accurately.
Why couldn't you use the same thermometer used to determine the initial temperature of the metal to determine the final temperature of the metal and the water?
You cannot use the same thermometer for both measurements because the thermometer may not provide accurate readings after being in contact with the hot metal, potentially affecting its calibration or causing damage. Additionally, if the thermometer is not allowed to equilibrate to the temperature of the metal before measuring, it may give an inaccurate final temperature reading. Using different thermometers ensures that each measurement is reliable and unaffected by prior exposure to extreme temperatures.
What is the proper way to take the temperature of vacuum packed food?
The proper way to take the temperature of vacuum packed foods is with a metal stem thermometer. To take the correct temperature, put the thermometer in the center of the food.
Why does the thermometer go down when the temp gets cold?
A thermometer measures temperature based on the expansion or contraction of the liquid or metal inside it. When it gets cold, the molecules inside the thermometer contract, causing the liquid or metal to shrink, which in turn results in the reading on the thermometer going down.
What is the right way to measure the temperature of MAP or vacuum-packed foods?
The proper way to take the temperature of vacuum packed foods is with a metal stem thermometer. To take the correct temperature, put the thermometer in the center of the food.
What is a probe thermometer?
this is a thermometer that can work twice as much as a normal thermometer or a thermometer that can check the temperature of two things at the same time
How is air temperature measured accurately?
Air temperature is measured accurately using a device called a thermometer. The thermometer is placed in the air and measures the temperature by detecting the expansion or contraction of a liquid or metal inside it. This provides an accurate reading of the air temperature at that location.
