What is a thin glass tube with bulb on one end that contains a liquid?
Thermometer. They contain Mercury which is a metal.
A is a thin glass tube with a bulb on the one end that contains liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
Thermometer
Is mercury in any devices always in a capillary tube?
A thermometer has a capillary tube but a mercury switch in a heater thermostat has mercury that just rolls back and forth.
How do you fix a thermometer where the mercury is separated in the tube?
You can't and shouldn't repair this. Mercury being poisonous, it is best recommended to discard the whole thermometer, without letting the mercury escape, very carefully. Maybe where you live they have a special place where such objects are destroyed safely.
Does liquid water rise higher in a narrow tube or a wide tube?
Rise or fall of liquid in a small passage or tube. When a glass tube of small internal diameter is inserted into water, the surface water molecules are attracted to the glass and the water level in the tube rises. The narrower the tube, the higher the water rises. The water is said to "wet" the tube. Water will also be drawn into the fibres of a towel, even if the towel is in a horizontal position. Conversely, if a glass tube is inserted into mercury, the level of the liquid in the tube falls. The mercury does not wet the tube. Capillarity is caused by the difference in attraction of the liquid molecules to each other and the attraction of the liquid molecules to those of the tube.
What is the definition of Glass thermometer?
thermometer consisting of mercury contained in a bulb at the bottom of a graduated sealed glass capillary tube marked in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit; mercury expands with a rise in temperature causing a thin thread of mercury to rise in the tube
Why the mercury can not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in glass tube?
Because the pressure of air may be greater than the pressure of the ascending Mercury.
Who element used of the glass tube of clinical thermometer to measure thermometer?
mercury
What is inside the glass tube from a thermometer?
either mercury or alcohol
What is the signal conditioner of mercury-in-glass thermometer?
The capillary tube of the thermometer ( in case of a mecury thermometer).
Is the external bulb of a thermometer also made of mercury?
The red liquid in a thermometer is Mercury, which is usually encased in a glass tube
What does a clinical thermometer consist of?
a clinical thermometer consists of mercury(Hg) concealed inside a glass tube with a bulb at the bottom. the bulb portion has the mercury and is thermo-sensitive. owing to the rise in temperature, when kept under the tongue of a patient, the mercury rises over the calibrated tube portion.
How the liquid in a thermometer changes so that it can be sued to measure temperatures?
The thermometer is a sealed glass tube containing mercury in a vacuum. The mercury column will rise or fall due to expansion, and the level is read off a temperature scale.
Which element is used in the glass tube of a clinical thermometer to measure temperature?
mercury
Which element is used in the glass tube of clinical thermometer to measure tepperature?
MERCURY
Why does the mercury not fall or rise in a clinical thermometer when taken out of the mouth?
Mercury does not fall or rise in a clinical thermometer when taken out from the mouth because of the KINK present in it.
What is in a thermometer besides Mercury?
There is nothing else in a mercury thermometer. However, some similar (glass tube-type) thermometers contain alcohol instead of mercury. Ray
