The thermometer's reading of the point the liquid boils may not be accurate.
A thermometer is typically used to measure the boiling point of a substance. It can accurately measure the temperature at which a liquid changes state from a liquid to a gas during the boiling process.
If a thermometer is not kept moist with condensate, it may provide inaccurate readings of temperature. In boiling point measurements, moisture helps to ensure accurate thermal contact and enhances heat transfer. Without this moisture, the thermometer may not fully equilibrate with the boiling liquid, leading to a higher or lower recorded boiling point than the actual temperature. Consequently, the absence of condensate can result in erroneous data when determining boiling points.
During distillation, the temperature shown on the thermometer corresponds to the boiling point of the liquid being vaporized. As the mixture is heated, the thermometer will indicate a stable temperature once the liquid reaches its boiling point, allowing for the separation of components based on their differing boiling points. The temperature may fluctuate if there are impurities or multiple components present, but a consistent reading indicates that the distillation process is effectively isolating a specific substance.
You need two tools. To measure the air pressure you use a barometer and to measure the temperature at which the substance boils you use a thermometer. The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
The boiling point is typically measured at standard atmospheric pressure, which is defined as 1 atmosphere (atm) or 101.3 kPa. This measurement can vary with changes in atmospheric pressure; for instance, at higher altitudes where pressure is lower, the boiling point of a liquid decreases. The boiling point can be determined using a thermometer placed in the liquid as it heats, observing the temperature at which bubbles form and the liquid transitions to gas.

Yes, a thermometer can record the temperature of a boiling pot. By placing the thermometer in the liquid or steam coming from the pot, it can measure the temperature accurately. Be sure to use a thermometer that is designed to measure high temperatures.

If the solid is insoluble, it will have little or no effect on the boiling point. If it is soluble, it will raise the boiling point.
The question to ask is: What is the boiling point of mercury (as mercury is the substance within a thermometer, unless of course you are referring to the material that makes up the thermometer itself).You can simply google that.But...it's 356.7° C
boiling chips are not added to the distillation flask. the thermometer bulb is placed in the boiling liquid. the water to the water-jacketed condenser is not turned on.
Temperature rises, liquid starts boiling becoming vapor

A soluble nonvolatile impurity increases the boiling point of a liquid because it disrupts the intermolecular forces between the solvent molecules, making it more difficult for the liquid to vaporize. This phenomenon is known as boiling point elevation.
The maximum temperature recorded on the thermometer during distillation is the boiling point of the liquid being distilled. This is the temperature at which the liquid changes state from liquid to vapor. It is important to closely monitor this temperature to ensure proper separation of components during distillation.
A boiling point apparatus or device, such as a distillation setup with a thermometer, can be used to determine the boiling point of salt water and sugar water. This setup typically includes a heat source, a round-bottom flask to hold the solution, a condenser to collect and condense the evaporated liquid, and a thermometer to monitor the temperature as the solution boils.
