What is the operational difference between polarography and amperometer?

Polarography is a type of voltammetry that measures current at varying potentials to analyze electroactive species, while amperometry measures current at a constant potential to study concentration changes over time. In polarography, the potential is scanned to generate a voltammogram, while amperometry uses a fixed potential to monitor changes in current.

Why mercury is used in milk?

Mercury is highly poisonous and should not be used in milk production. The only place where mercury might be used in milk production is in mercury thermometers and where possible, these should be replaced with alcohol thermometers.


What is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature and what is it used for?

Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is used in thermometers, barometers, and some electrical switches and relays.


Why is that mercury is used in thermometer?

Mercury is used in thermometers because mercury is the only liquid metal in room temperature. Hence our body temperature is observed by melting the liquid metal mercury due to our body temperature.


What liquid metal is most commonly used in thermometer?

The liquid metal in many thermometer is mercury (Hg).


Why should you use only mercury in thermometer?

Actually, you should NOT. Mercury is very toxic.
