What else can I help you with?
What would it be like to live on Mercury?
it would be really hot
What unit would be best to measure the temperature in Antarctica in winter?
Ethanol-filled thermometers (alcohol thermometers) are a favourite among meteorologists and can be used down to -70 degrees centigrade due to alcohols very low freezing temperature. So this should be your best bet.
Why are gas thermometers more sensitive than liquid thermometers?
bc gas is easily compressed so it would have a more versitile range of measurement at least in our atmoshperic conditions. liquid not so easily compressed so very little pressure via mass w/gravity or heat would cause it to quickly jump between changes.
Why would and ordinary thermometer show a low temprature in the thermosphere?
An ordinary thermometer would show a low temperature in the thermosphere because the thermosphere is characterized by very low air density and high energy particles. Regular thermometers rely on air molecules to transfer heat, but in the thermosphere, the low density of air molecules means that the thermometer cannot accurately measure the temperature of the sparse particles present.
Which liquid would be better in the thermometer. why?
Mercury is commonly used in thermometers due to its high thermal conductivity and visibility in the narrow tube, allowing for accurate temperature readings. Alcohol thermometers, on the other hand, are safer and less toxic compared to mercury thermometers. The choice of liquid depends on the specific use and safety considerations.
What laboratory equipment would you use for measuring temperature?
You would use a thermometer to measure temperature in a laboratory setting. There are different types of thermometers available, such as digital thermometers, mercury thermometers, and infrared thermometers, each suitable for different applications.
What would it be like to live on Mercury?
it would be really hot
How is temperature measured in Antarctica?
Thermometers are very effective in measuring temperatures, in both C and F degrees.
Why are digital thermometers used these days?
Digital thermometers have replaced mercury thermometers because mercury is toxic. [Personal commentary: digital thermometers are not accurate and mercury thermometers are so how many people are being harmed by not knowing their temperature versus how many would be harmed by the mercury if accurate thermometers were still used?]
What temperature would Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers register the same reading?
Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers will read the same temperature at -40 degrees, as -40 degrees Celsius is equal to -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
What temperature Fahrenheit and celsius thermometers would read as the same number?
negative 40 degrees
Which of the temperature that Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers would read as the same number?
-40c (apex)
What is the difference between clinical thermometers and other mercury-in-glass thermometers?
Clinical thermometers. They can be (and usually made) by glass hollow rods with mercury inside). So I would say 'no diiference' considering the fact that: A clinical thermometer made with glass and mercury inside. Now - a - days other types of thermometers are used (to avoid mercury). Some contains alcohol (for glass type), some are made up like robbons with censors implanted.
What would happen without thermometers?
Without thermometers, it would be difficult to accurately measure temperature, making it challenging to monitor changes in weather, body temperature, or cooking temperatures. This could lead to issues such as undercooked food, inaccurate health assessments, and limited ability to predict weather patterns accurately.
Would it have been possible to make mercury thermometers if the expansion of glass would have been the greater?
Yes, The mercury level would drop as the temperature increased.
Why do many thermometers use liquid?
A solid substance in a Thermometer would only show the temperature at it's melting point up to its gas point. they use a liquid so the temperature can be measured at room temperature with ease.
What is the temperature that Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers would read as the same number?
At a temperature of -40 (minus forty) degrees, the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales read the same number.
