What will the mercury thermometer show when it is kept in ice?
The question must be asked carefully. If the thermometer is in water ice and there is no liquid water, and there is one atmosphere of pressure, the thermometer can read anything from the freezing point of water and lower, depending on the range of the thermometer. If the thermometer is in a stable mix of water and ice, it will read the freezing point of water.
What is the mass and capacity in liquid in a thermometer?
This depends on the thermometer model.
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.
What liquid metal was commonly used in thermometer?
We still use colored alcohol for our liquid in everyday thermometers.
What is happening when the liquid in a thermometer contracts?
When the liquid in a thermometer contracts, it means that the temperature is decreasing. As the molecules of the liquid lose energy, they move closer together, causing the volume of the liquid to decrease. This contraction is used to measure a drop in temperature on the thermometer scale.
What is the liquid in thermometer's called?
Mercury the liquid inside thermometer is mercury.. but it is called thermometric liquid.
What is a classroom thermometer?
A "classroom thermometer" is a thermometer assigned to be kept in a specific classroom.
What causes the liquid to move in a thermometer?
When the liquid in the thermometer gets warmer it expands.
What will the mercury thermometer show when it is kept in ice?
The question must be asked carefully. If the thermometer is in water ice and there is no liquid water, and there is one atmosphere of pressure, the thermometer can read anything from the freezing point of water and lower, depending on the range of the thermometer. If the thermometer is in a stable mix of water and ice, it will read the freezing point of water.
Which device has a liquid in glass components?
thermometer
What is the liquid in a Galilean thermometer?
The liquid in a Galilean thermometer is usually a clear alcohol, such as ethanol or methanol.
What liquid is in a Galileo thermometer?
The liquid in a Galileo thermometer is usually a clear, alcohol-based solution.
What is the liquid in the ball of the thermometer?
the liguid inside the thermometer is Mercury.
What is the mass and capacity in liquid in a thermometer?
This depends on the thermometer model.
What liquid is typically used in a Galilean thermometer?
The liquid typically used in a Galilean thermometer is colored alcohol.
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.
Why is it inappropriate to stir a liquid with a thermometer?
Because that will mess with the temperature reading on the thermometer. And it would be dangerous if the thermometer is broken as there are dangerous chemicals (i.e.mercury) inside.
