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.
What happens when you put a clinical thermometer into boiling water?
A clinical thermometer is designed to measure body temperature accurately, not high-temperature environments like boiling water. Putting a clinical thermometer into boiling water can damage the thermometer, resulting in inaccurate readings and potentially posing a safety risk. It's best to use thermometers specifically designed for measuring high temperatures in such situations.
Why should a clinical thermometer not be washed in hot water?
The idea is based avoiding use of the thermometer when it is reading "higher" than what it is that is being measured. Let's look at what's happening. If we wash a clinical thermometer in hot water, it will respond to that hot water. That will cause the reading to shoot up well above a hundred degrees. If we then try to use it, it will have to "cool down" under the tongue of the person we're using it on. It is actually being cooled by that person. The thermometer will take a relatively long time to reach the temperature of the individual whose temperature is being measured. And this time will vary, but will be longer than it would be for the thermometer to "come up" to temperature. One of the directions for using these thermometers is to first shake it down until it reads less than 95 degrees or so. If you're starting with a thermometer than has just been washed in hot water, you're not going to be able to shake it down per the directions. You'll have to run it under cool water for a bit to cool it so you can use it.
What happens to water when placed in a vacuum?
When placed in a vacuum, water will start to evaporate due to the reduced air pressure. As the pressure decreases, the water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid and turn into water vapor.
If i use a thermometer what will be the temperature in the plastic cup with hot water?
That depends on how hot the water is in the cup. Use the thermometer to measure it and see.
Can we use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of boiling water?
No.
A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to drop?
If surrounding water temperature is lower than the water in the thermometer, heat will transfer from the water in the thermometer to the colder water causing the liquid in the thermometer to drop.
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.
Why should not a hot thermometer be placed in ice water?
Because it will bust.

Difference between laboratory and clinical thermometer?
A laboratory thermometer is used to measure temperature with high precision in controlled environments, such as in research labs. Clinical thermometers are designed to measure body temperature for medical purposes, typically with less precision but greater convenience for home use.
Why a clinical thermometer crack in hot water?
A clinical thermometer may crack in hot water due to rapid expansion of the glass material when exposed to extreme temperatures. The sudden change in temperature causes stress on the glass, leading to cracks or breakage. Additionally, if the thermometer is not designed to withstand high temperatures, it may not be able to handle the heat and crack.
Why a clinical thermometer breaks when it is used to measure the temperature of boiling water?
Boiling is way far outside its operating range.
A sentence for thermometer?
Here are three sentences using the word 'thermometer': "James used a thermometer to measure the temperature of the water." "It is important not to break the thermometer because the glass could cut you." "This thermometer is very old."
How does is the temperature of beaker measure in water?
The temperature of a beaker is typically measured using a thermometer that is placed in the water inside the beaker. The thermometer will provide a reading of the water temperature, which indirectly reflects the temperature of the beaker as well.
What might happened to the thermometer if you put in boiling water after taken out of freezer?
There will be a sudden change in temperature and it is likely that the thermometer may even break.
