Why can't mercury thermometers go past -40?
Mercury thermometers can go past -40 degrees Celsius. However, mercury freezes at temperatures below -39 degrees Celsius, so the thermometer will not be able to register lower temperatures accurately.
Does mercury in a thermometer go bad?
No. But glassware is not a crystalline rigid material, and has some memory of recent thermal movement. Thermometers that have been calibrated at manufacture, will have a couple of tiny scratch marks along the scale, and the graduations in between are interpolated. If you wish to calibrate a thermometer, then do so at the triple point (close to 0 deg C), and at boiling point - 100 degree C. Since much of the stem of the thermometer has been at 100 degree C, straightaway after removing from the steam, the glass tube will shrink, and the reading will change due to this, as well as the mercury column cooling. For a thermometer to be a precision measuring device, the bore has to be accurately true, and this is not always the case. Ordinary mercury thermometers are seldom to be relied upon for better than 1 degree C resolution.
Can an electric switch go bad?
Yes. Mostly when if there is loose connection or improper installation

Are electronic thermometers more reliable than a standard thermometer?
Electronic thermometers and standard thermometers are equally accurate. In terms of reliability, the standard thermometer wins. Why? Because it doesn't have any batteries to go dead.
How do you dispose of an old thermometer?
Old thermometers should be disposed of at a hazardous waste facility. Do not throw them in the regular trash as they may contain mercury, which is harmful to the environment. Contact your local waste management facility for guidance on proper disposal methods.

What different types of thermometers exist?
Contributed by 1st grader Mackenzie and her mom Julie: There are circle thermometers which are like a clock and you read the numbers from left to right. There are stick thermometers that go under your tongue, your arm pit or other body parts. The numbers go from bottom to top. There are digital thermometers that can go in your ear, on your finger or other body parts. There are inside thermometers and outside thermometers to tell the general warmth/coolness of the space/environment. There are different scales - Fahrenheit and Celsius. Thermometers may be used to take a person's body temperature, to tell how warm/cold it is outside or in a room, to test whether food is cooked to a desired temperature to be safe. We hope we helped you.

Why do you use mercury in thermometer?
As tempertature rises, the mercury in the thermometer expands, causing it to go up. As temperature decreases, the mercury in the thermometer contracts, causing it to go down on the scale. However, mercury thermometers are very dangerous if it breakes and gets on your skin. so it it reccomended to use an electric thermometer. these thermometers use thermoelectric current to measure temperature. ergo. they are safe if they break cheers <3 -Eli
