Freon under pressure, much like LP and butane are liquid. At sea level pressure, freon becomes a gas. For freon to work in a refrigeration system, it must be able to transform from liquid to gas to liquid. So, to fill a system, it must be put into that system in liquid form. To do this, the bottle containing freon must be tipped, otherwise only freon the gas would be expelled.

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.


Does the anatomical position change if the body is upside down?

If the body is upside down then it is no longer in the anatomical position. But no, it would not change.


Why does mercury not flow down when the mercury thermometer is held upside down?

Mercury is a dense liquid at room temperature, so gravity is not strong enough to overcome the surface tension and adhesion forces holding it in place inside the thermometer tube. This allows the mercury to "stick" to the walls of the tube and not flow down when the thermometer is turned upside down.


Is Uranus an upside down planet?

Yes, Uranus is often described as an "upside-down" planet because its rotational axis is tilted at about 98 degrees. This means that during its orbit around the Sun, Uranus appears to be rotating on its side.


Why is freon cold?

Freon itself if not cold. Freon can be used to cool things by compressing the gas and then letting it expand. When a gas expands, it cools down (for more information about that, look up the Ideal Gas Law). Freon is very effective for this purpose and because it is a gas with a high heat capacity. Any gas can cool thing in the same way, but Freon does it particularly well. Unfortunately it is what is called a CFC, which destroys ozone in the atmosphere.

Why cannot we hold the dropper upside and down?

Holding a dropper upside down can cause air bubbles to enter the liquid, affecting the accuracy of the dispensed volume. Holding it upside down can also lead to the liquid leaking or spilling out of the dropper. It is best to follow the recommended orientation to ensure precise and controlled dispensing.

How does a thermometer work upside down?

A thermometer works the same way whether it is upright or upside down. The liquid inside the thermometer expands and contracts based on the surrounding temperature, causing the level of the liquid to rise and fall on the scale. This movement indicates the temperature being measured.

Because when you turn it upside down, the surface tension of the full glass of liquid, combined with atmopheric pressure provides just enough force to out-do gravity !
