Alcohol in a thermometer expands when heated and contracts when cooled. This change in volume causes the level of alcohol in the thermometer to rise or fall. By measuring the level of the alcohol, the temperature of the substance being measured can be determined.
Alcohol in a thermometer rises whenever the temperature of its surrounding increases. As the temperature increases, the heat causes the alcohol to expand ever so slightly, which shows up as an increase of height of the alcohol in the tube of the thermometer.
The liquid in a Galileo thermometer is usually a clear alcohol, such as ethanol or isopropyl alcohol.
When the temperature drops, the alcohol in the thermometer contracts and takes up less space. This results in the alcohol level appearing to go down in the thermometer.
I would take an alcohol thermometer because it can accurately measure temperatures as low as -70 degrees Celsius, whereas a mercury thermometer may not work reliably at such low temperatures. Additionally, alcohol is less likely to freeze at extremely cold temperatures compared to mercury.
An alcohol thermometer is used to measure temperature by the expansion and contraction of the alcohol in the thermometer's tube. It is commonly used in lab settings, homes, and industries to measure temperature accurately within a specific range.
No, it is not safe to use rubbing alcohol in a simple thermometer. Rubbing alcohol is a disinfectant and can affect the accuracy of the thermometer readings. It is recommended to use a thermometer as per the manufacturer's instructions.
The rise in alcohol in a thermometer is a result of the expansion of the alcohol due to increased temperature. As the temperature increases, the molecules in the alcohol move faster and spread out, causing the liquid to rise in the thermometer tube.

The kink in a mercury or alcohol clinical thermometer helps to prevent the mercury or alcohol from flowing back into the bulb once the thermometer is removed from a patient's body. This ensures that the maximum temperature reached during measurement is retained for reading.
u don't have to flick the thermometer to reset the temperature reading when you use an alcohol based thermometer (unlike a mercury thermometer where you have to flick and flick and flick flick flick that thermometer for the mercury to be reset so that you can make an accurate reading) a disadvantage is that the alcohol thermometer is slightly less acurate The biggest advantage is that alcohol is not nearly as toxic as mercury, so that if the thermometer breaks, you won't be poisoned.

because it would turn to ice and alcohol wouldn't
