Why is alcohol a good choice as indicator in a thermometer used to measure very low temperature?
Alcohol has a low freezing point and a wide range of liquid expansion with temperature changes, making it suitable for measuring very low temperatures accurately. Additionally, alcohol does not wet glass, ensuring that it adheres to the tube walls and provides a consistent reading.
What else can I help you with?
What is the liquid in a thermometer?
It can range from mercury to alcohol it depends on the manufacturer.
What happens when you put alcohol in a thermometer?
Thermometers usually have alcohol in them any way or sometimes poisonous liquid magnets so not much would happen to it
What is the significance of the red spirit in a thermometer?
The red spirit in a thermometer is typically made of alcohol or a similar liquid that expands and contracts with temperature changes. This allows the thermometer to accurately measure and display the temperature. The red color makes it easier to see and read the temperature level.
What is thermometric substance?
These are materials used in thermometer whoses property varies with temperature
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.
What is an alcohol thermometer used for?
An alcohol thermometer is used to measure temperature by the expansion and contraction of the alcohol in the thermometer's tube. It is commonly used in lab settings, homes, and industries to measure temperature accurately within a specific range.
What item is used to measure temperature?
A thermometer is used to measure temperature. It typically consists of a bulb containing mercury or alcohol that expands or contracts depending on the temperature. The scale on the thermometer then indicates the temperature.
What is the liquid in a thermometer?
It can range from mercury to alcohol it depends on the manufacturer.
How can you measure a body temperature?
What kind of thermometer you use to measure the body temperature
What instrument do you temperature with?
measure temperature? A thermometer.
What is a glass bulb of a thermometer?
A glass bulb of a thermometer is the part at the bottom of the thermometer that contains mercury or colored alcohol that expands and contracts with temperature changes. This expansion and contraction of the liquid is what causes the thermometer to measure and display the temperature.
What is in a thermometer a t the bottom?
A thermometer typically contains a liquid, such as mercury or alcohol, at the bottom of the glass tube. This liquid expands and contracts as the temperature changes, allowing the thermometer to measure and display the temperature.
What is the substance in a thermometer that tells us the temperature?
The substance in a thermometer that tells us the temperature is usually mercury or alcohol. These substances expand or contract in response to temperature changes, allowing the thermometer to measure the temperature accurately.
How does the thermometer used to measure air temperature differ from the thermometer used to take your temperature?
A thermometer used to measure air temperature uses a glass tube filled with a liquid either alcohol or mercury. When the temperature increases the particles of liquid expand, filling the glass tub. Thermometers that are used to measure you body temperature uses infrared sensors.
What a thermometer measure and how does it do it?
blood
What is the function of the bore in a thermometer?
The bore in a thermometer is the narrow tube where the liquid (mercury or alcohol) expands and contracts with temperature changes. This expansion and contraction of the liquid in the bore allows the thermometer to measure and display the temperature accurately.
How does a thermometer measure temperature accurately?
A thermometer measures temperature accurately by using a substance that expands or contracts with changes in temperature, such as mercury or alcohol. As the substance expands or contracts, it moves along a scale to indicate the temperature. The thermometer is calibrated to ensure accurate readings.
