What is the advantage and disadvantage of using water in a thermometer?

Thermometers are devices which can be used to measure the body temperature. The body temperature is an important health indicator, and to assess it properly the core temperature must be measured. The best way to this is through a rectal or aural measurement - these require specific thermometers. Aural measurements are most common in professional settings because of their reliability and ease of use, though a rectal measurement is still the most accurate.
Nowadays most thermometers are electric, for greater accuracy and safety. Mercury thermometers are no longer used in medical applications, due to the toxicity of mercury, and many countries have banned the classic mercury-in-glass thermometers from such purposes.

∙ 13y agoThe truth is there is no water thermometer in the world.If the temperature is high the water inside the capillary will start to boil and the thermometer will eventually burst

What is the disadvantage of using water energy?
"water energy" = Hydro electricity. Depending where the dam is, it can be detrimental to the environment. Also, nuclear is cheaper.
A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to drop?
Water Temperaure cools
What instrument measures water temperature?
A thermometer
How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
Difference between laboratory and clinical thermometer?
A clinical thermometer is used to measure a human body, and the laboratory thermometer is used to boil water and other lab uses.
What tools are used to measure the environmental conditions?
Oxygen levels in the water can be measured using oxygen probes which are often connected to a data logger. Rainfalls can be measured using a rain gauge. Temperature can be measured with an ordinary thermometer or a digital thermometer. The advantage of the digital thermometer is that nobody has to be there when it is getting measured.
What an advantage and disadvantage for steam system and hot water system?
The advantages are that they save time and give hot water. The disadvantage is that the environment can be harsh due to the high temperatures.
What are the advantages and disadvantages to water clocks?
the advantage is: no need to watch the sun, stars or moonthe disadvantage is: the flow of water was very hard to control, so a clock using water can never be perfectly accurate.I'm 11 how old are you?
How accurately can you predict water temperature?
You can predict water temperature accurately by using a water thermometer.
What is the benefit of floating ice?
The question is meaningless. Ice floats on water because it is lighter than water that how it is there is no advantage or disadvantage.
What is the disadvantage in using water to produce electricity?
cus its wank
How would you find the temperature of the water?
please study your lesson and listen to your teacher when she/he is teaching....dont chatwith your friend whille teaching so that you dont need to research understandddddddddddddddddd
A sentence for thermometer?
Here are three sentences using the word 'thermometer': "James used a thermometer to measure the temperature of the water." "It is important not to break the thermometer because the glass could cut you." "This thermometer is very old."
A disadvantage of using a synthetic detergent?
Major Disadvantage of synthetic detergents are that they are non bio degradable and thus they cause water pollution.
Why don't you make thermometers with water?
You can make a thermometer with water, and in fact Galileo invented a rudimentary water thermometer in 1593. However, using other materials such as alcohol or mercury allows you to measure a greater variation in temperature.
What is the advantage an disadvantage to life in Russia?
advantage: affordable living costs kinda safe and peaceful bear is cheaper than mineral water cigarette is cheaper than chocolates bar disadvantage: freakin cold winter hooligans and drunkens the way they speak is quite harsh
Why is temperature of boiling water cannot be measured using an alcohol thermometer?
Because the alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water.
