What are three uses for microscopes?
Three uses for microscopes are forensics, reasearch, and analysis.
How does a thermomerator measure temperature?
that depends on what type of thermometer. The tube thermometer, the kind with a glass tube with a red liquid in it, uses a small amount of mercury in a very small tube. When the mercury is heated, it expands, pushing further up the tube, as it cools it contracts, going down the tube. A dial thermometer also works on expansion and contraction, but with a coil instead of mercury.
What are the uses of convection?
It means the transfer of thermal energy by the circulation movement of a liquid or gas.
What are three uses for oxygen?
breathing burning

What is three uses for mercury?
Please refer to the related links for an article about the uses for mercury.
What are the uses and properties of Mercury?
There are no uses for mercury.
Describe how a thermometer uses the thermal expansion of a material to measure temperature?
A thermometer is a device that is used to gauge temperature. Mercury style thermometers used the elemental liquid in a tube of measured diameter and height. The higher the temperature, the higher the observed mercury level is. Thus, the height of the mercury uses marking to indicate which air temperature corresponds to the given height of its liquid expansion.
What are the important uses of Mercury?
mercury is used in thermometers
What is some of the uses of Mercury?
Mercury has many uses but the first one that comes to mind, is the use for this metal in thermometers. Mercury is, to my knowledge, the only metal that can be a liquid at room temperature. This metal is also used in making other instruments such as barometers.
Can Hg turn into liquid at room temperature?
Hg (mercury) IS a liquid at room temperature. [and Mark adds...] Unless this is some kind of trick question, Hg, or Mercury, is a liquid at room temperature. Until it was labeled as "bad", mercury was used in oral and rectal thermometers, and it is still seen in positional or gravity-driven switches. Mercury is found in some older home furnace thermostats. When connected to a spring that coils and uncoils as the temperature changes, the mercury, "floats" in a sealed glass tube that has two wires at one end. The switch, riding on the coil, will make contact as it tilts to activate the furnace. Mercury can be ionized into a gas and used for propulsion in space. I don't know of any uses for solid/frozen mercury.
What instrument uses Mercury?
Historical, both thermometers and barometers have used mercury.
What are the uses of a Mercury barometer?
A Mercury barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure.
What are Mercury's uses as an element compound?
you will allways see mercury in conventional thermometers.
What are the uses triple?
# to sold the paper to liquid # to clammers # to saperate to liquid-liquid
What company uses the word liquid in their logo?
Sunlight liquid
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.
