The thermometer would melt
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcoholic thermometer
The melting point oof salt is far higher then the melting point of acetone.
Laboratory thermometers are used to measure temperatures or temperature changes with a high degree of precision. They are made of metal or glass and strengthened through processes such as thermal tempering or annealing.
If the clinical thermometer is a mercury based thermometer, it needs to be shaken down prior to each use. This is because there is a pinch point between the mercury reservoir bulb and the capillary tube, to ensure that the mercury does not shrink back into the bulb after the temperature has been taken. The mercury has therefore to be shaken back into the bulb before another measurement can be made. One should note that in many countries use of mercury based clinical thermometers is now discouraged (because mercury is toxic) and electronic thermometers are used in stead - these do not need shaking.
The incipient melting point refers to how metal is heated. It is the point just before the metal reaches its melting point.
Mercury has a melting point of -39.9
The melting point of mercury is: 38,83 0C.
Use a thermometer that can measure greater than 100 oC.
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcoholic thermometer
The melting point of mercury is -38,83 0C. The boiling point of mercury is 356,73 0C.
fordetermining point of ice,the thermometer should be kept
- a thermometer with mercury - a thermometer with thermoresistance
thermometer
WORKING: Place the bulb of the thermometer filled with mercury in a vessel ov small pieces of ice the mercury will arise in the tube and will come to rest at a certain point.this point shows the melting point of ice. CONSTRUCTION:A thermometer consists of a glass bulb filled with mercury.A cappilary tube arises from this bulb.Due to the narrow bore of the tube a small change in the volume of the mercury becomes significiantly visible.
You can find the melting point of mercury in reference books and by researching it online. Refer to the related link for a Wikipedia article about mercury.
it is because they were consistent at melting and boiling point
The melting point of mercury is -38.83 Celsius, or -37.69 Fahrenheit.The boiling point of mercury is 356.73 Celsius, or 674.11 Fahrenheit.
