Why is it inappropriate to stir a liquid with a thermometer?
Because that will mess with the temperature reading on the thermometer. And it would be dangerous if the thermometer is broken as there are dangerous chemicals (i.e.mercury) inside.
Why should not use water in the thermometer?
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 terms best describe as A clear mixture in which substance dissolves in water?
A solution is a clear mixture in which a substance dissolves in water.
You are making lemonade You add water lemon juice and sugar what terms best describes the water in this situation?
The water in this situation would be considered a solvent, as it is the substance that dissolves the lemon juice and sugar to create the lemonade.
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.
What would best mask the taste of an oily substance?
Sarsaparilla syrup would best mask the taste of an oily substance.
What type of the thermometer would use to measure the temperature of ice?
You can use a digital or analog thermometer to measure the temperature of ice, but it's best to use a thermometer that can measure low temperatures accurately. A thermometer that measures from -50°C to 50°C would be suitable for measuring the temperature of ice.
Which thermometr will you take when you go to south expedition mercury or alchol?
An Alcohol thermometer would be the best as it is more sensitive than the mercury thermometer.
What is the best way to tell the exact temperature of a cup of water?
The best way to tell the exact temperature of a cup of water is to use a digital kitchen thermometer. Simply insert the probe into the water and wait for the reading to stabilize. This will give you an accurate temperature reading.
Why water is not the best a barometric liquid?
A simple way to answer this question is because that thermometer would have a very limited range. Water becomes solid at 0 deg C and so if you where measuring below this your thermometer would freeze up and would give any reading. Water also evaporates at 100 deg C so if you where measuring over this temp the water in the thermometer would evaporate and once again you can not get a reading. Mercury however which is seen in most thermometers provides a large range from - 39 deg C to 357 deg C. For this reason water isn't chosen over other elements/compounds
Can you use a baby thermometer to test the temperature of water?
No, it is not recommended to use a baby thermometer to test the temperature of water. Baby thermometers are specifically designed to measure human body temperature and may not provide accurate results for testing water temperature. It's best to use a thermometer specifically designed for measuring water temperature.
Why is it inappropriate to stir a liquid with a thermometer?
Because that will mess with the temperature reading on the thermometer. And it would be dangerous if the thermometer is broken as there are dangerous chemicals (i.e.mercury) inside.
Which thermometer is best for baby?
A digital thermometer is less 'intrusive' - as you don't need to hold it in place for any length of time (as you would with a mercury thermometer). Digital ones give you an almost instant reading.
What is used to measure heat in the air?
The best is a thermometer, another way to get the temperature outside is to pour water in a bowl, leave it out there for a couple of minutes and then take a thermometer and put it in the water.
Why should not use water in the thermometer?

What is the correct place to put a thermometer?
You put the thermometer in what you want to get the temperature from. If you want to measure body temperature, the rectum would be the best way to get an accurate reading with an old school thermometer. There are however new thermometers which are as effective in an ear.
What terms best describe as A clear mixture in which substance dissolves in water?
A solution is a clear mixture in which a substance dissolves in water.
