One of the problems with water in a thermometer is the effect of capillary action - the column of water tends to "stick" to the sides of the thermometer and create a U-shaped surface at the top. This makes it very difficult to read the thermometer. Previously Mercury was considered to be a good medium for thermometers, but this has been discontinued due to the health risks from a broken mercury thermometer; the current medium in thermometers is dyed ethanol or methanol.
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.
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 to use to measure the temperature of boiling water?
You can use a food thermometer or a candy thermometer for measuring the temperature of boiling water. Make sure the thermometer is heat-resistant and can handle high temperatures. Insert the thermometer into the water without touching the bottom of the pot for an accurate reading.
How would you find the temperature of the water?
You can measure the temperature of water using a thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the water and wait a few seconds for the reading to stabilize. The temperature displayed on the thermometer is the temperature of the water.
Why would water not be the best substance to use in a thermometer?
Water is not ideal for a thermometer because it freezes and boils at temperatures that are not generally suitable for a thermometer's everyday use. In addition, water can evaporate, leading to inaccuracies in temperature readings. Finally, water is not as sensitive to small temperature changes compared to other substances like mercury or alcohol.
If you want to get the temperature of the water what instrument will you use?
I would use a thermometer.

How can I accurately take a dog's temperature using a human thermometer?
To accurately take a dog's temperature using a human thermometer, you should use a digital thermometer and lubricate it with petroleum jelly or water-based lubricant. Gently insert the thermometer into the dog's rectum about 1-2 inches and hold it in place for about 1-2 minutes. Be sure to clean the thermometer thoroughly before and after use.
What are precautions that are to taken while measuring the temperature in clinical thermometer?
the mercury should be at normal body temperature level before using it the thermometer should be cleaned after use with normal water the bulb of the thermometer should not be touched
