What are three reasons why water is unsuitable for use as a thermometer liquid?

Water has a high specific heat capacity, which means it changes temperature slowly which limits its sensitivity as a thermometer liquid. Water freezes and boils at standard temperature and pressure, limiting its range as a thermometer liquid. Water is reactive and can corrode materials, making it unsuitable for long-term use in some thermometers.


What is the heat capacity of 165g of liquid water?

The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.184 J/g°C. To find the heat capacity, you multiply the mass of the water (165g) by the specific heat capacity. So, the heat capacity of 165g of liquid water is 688.56 J/°C.


Are The molecules of the liquid inside a thermometer increase in speed when the thermometer is cooled.?

No, the molecules of the liquid inside a thermometer do not increase in speed when the thermometer is cooled. Instead, they lose energy and slow down, causing the liquid to contract and move down the scale. When the thermometer is heated, the molecules gain energy and speed up, leading to expansion of the liquid.


Why doesn't the liquid in the thermometer move when you turn it upside down?

The liquid in a thermometer does not move when turned upside down because of the properties of the liquid used (usually mercury or alcohol) and the vacuum-sealed tube design of the thermometer. This design prevents the liquid from freely moving when the thermometer is inverted.


Is a which one do you use for capacity a gram or a liter?

A liter is typically used to measure liquid capacity, while a gram is used to measure mass. If you want to measure the volume of a liquid, you would use liters. If you want to measure the weight of an object, you would use grams.

Does mass affect equal volume how it falls through a liquid?

The only way that the mass can change is if matter is added or taken away. The volume of a liquid can increase if heated, such as the liquid inside of a thermometer. The thermometer is sealed and no liquid gets in or out, so the mass of the liquid is unchanged. But when the temperature goes up, the liquid expands and is forced to go up the thermometer.

What change takes place in the liquid inside a thermometer when it is placed into somthing cold?

The liquid inside the thermometer "contracts" when it is placed into something cold. This means that it decreases in volume and increases in density. This is the reason that the thermometer can measure heat: the volume of the liquid inside the thermometer changes as a function of heat, and the amount of liquid in the "tube" of the thermometer changes as a function of volume. Because of this relationship, the level of the liquid in the tube of the thermometer changes as a function of heat.
