What is liquid-in-glass thermometer?
A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a type of thermometer that consists of a glass tube filled with a liquid, typically mercury or alcohol, which expands or contracts with changes in temperature. The level of the liquid in the tube corresponds to the temperature, allowing for temperature measurement.
The liquid most commonly used in a thermometer is either mercury or?
alcohol, such as ethanol or dyed ethyl alcohol. Mercury and alcohol are both used in thermometers due to their ability to expand and contract with temperature changes, allowing accurate measurement of thermal fluctuations. Mercury is less common now due to its toxicity.
What happen to the mercury in a thermometer when the temperature increase?
When the temperature increases, the mercury in a thermometer expands and rises up the column because the volume of the liquid increases with temperature. This expansion is linear and is used to indicate the rise in temperature on the thermometer scale.

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.
Is it a solid liquid or gas found in a thermometer?
Actually anything that won't freeze or boil at the operating range of the thermometer. The most common are mercury and alcohol.
What liquid metal is use in the thermometer?
