Why is alcohol preferred over mercury as a thermometric liquid?
Mercury is very toxic and can cause nerve damage and once it enters the body is just about impossible to get out. Alcohol is a much less hazardous substance. Even though it can be toxic, the body easily breaks it down in low doses. . Also, alcohol is commercially more abundant and less expensive than mercury.
What liquid is inside thermometers?
If the liquid is silver, it is liquid mercury (Hg). If the liquid is red, it is coloured ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH).
How does the thermal property of water differ from other liquids like alcohol when the liquids are cooled from 4 degree to 0 degree?
Water is the only substance that expands as it cools. As water cools from 40C to 00C (the freezing point of water), water becomes a solid, and expands in its volume. The freezing point of alcohol is lower than water, so by simple observation, no change will appear. If you had accurate enough measuring equipment, you would see that the alcohol is taking up less volume.
Why alcohol used in laboratory thermometers instead of mercury?
mercury is toxic but alcohol is not and alcohol is cheaper than mercury
