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.


What would happen if you placed the thermometer bulb above the junction of the condenser and the distilling column?

Placing the thermometer bulb above the junction of the condenser and the distilling column would measure the temperature of the vapors leaving the column. This temperature reading can help monitor the progress of distillation and identify when different components are being distilled.


What would happen if a person who is wering a hevy winter jacket were to place a thermometer inside the jacket next to his or herskin?

The jacket would insulate the thermometer from the surrounding environment, causing it to register a higher temperature as it absorbs the body heat trapped within the jacket. This may lead to an inaccurate reading of the person's actual body temperature.


What will happen if you hold a mercury thermometer from its bulb?

If you hold a mercury thermometer from its bulb, the heat from your hand can cause the mercury to expand and rise in the tube, giving an inaccurate reading. Additionally, mercury is toxic, so it is not safe to handle a broken thermometer. Always handle thermometers by the plastic casing to avoid these issues.


Can you measure the temperature of a flame of a Bunsen burner using a thermometer?

Yes, and No. You will get an inaccurate number since of air temperature and a few variables, but it will be relatively close. I do not recommend this, because a few things may happen, and even some I do not even know of. The thermometer will get hot and melt. Or explode. And many other things can happen.

What happens when we left thermometer in the fridge?

Nothing will happen, except the thermometer will show the fridge's interior temperature.


How does a horse thermometer work?

A horse thermometer works exactly like a human thermometer only it is inserted into the horses rectum to take the temperature. It is attached to a cord so if the horse accidentally pulls it into the rectum (which does happen) it can be removed safely.

What would happen if we took a jacket after it had been hanging in the closet and placed a thermometer inside?

Well, darling, if you took a jacket that had been hanging in the closet and placed a thermometer inside, you would get a reading of the temperature inside the jacket. The thermometer would measure the temperature of the air trapped inside the jacket, giving you an idea of how warm or cool it is in there. So, go ahead and satisfy your curiosity, but don't expect any mind-blowing revelations.


What will happen when you increase the temperature?

The pressure or volume of a quantity must increase.


What happen to the liquid in a thermometer when it gets warm?

When a thermometer is exposed to warmth, the liquid inside it expands and rises up the tube. This is because heat causes the molecules in the liquid to move faster, taking up more space and causing the volume to increase. The expansion of the liquid is used to measure the temperature.

What will happen if you increase both the pressure and temperature of a liquid?

It will boil


What would happen to the dissolving rate of sugar in tea if you increase the temperature of the liquid?

It would increase.


What will happen if a gas is held at constant temperature has an increase in pressure applied to it?

The volume of the gas will decrease. the gas will also attempt to increase in temperature.
