The thermal expansion of this liquid must be proportional to temperature; also corrosive, toxic and very colored liquids must be avoided if it is possible. These liquids doesn't react with glass.

What is the thermometric property used in a mercury thermometer?

Not just a property of liquid but of all matter. All matter expands when heated and contracts when cooled, in thermometers the liquid, usually an alcohol, expands when heated lengthening the little line.

What is thermometric liquid?

Thermometric liquid is a liquid used in thermometers to measure temperature changes. Common examples include mercury and colored alcohol, which expand or contract in response to temperature variations, allowing for precise readings. The choice of thermometric liquid depends on the temperature range and the desired accuracy of the thermometer. Mercury is often used for high-temperature measurements, while alcohol is favored for lower temperatures due to its lower freezing point.

Who invented liquid crystal thermometer?

Friedrich Reinitzer, an Austrian chemist, discovered liquid crystals in 1888. However, it was George Friedel, a French mineralogist, who later developed the first liquid crystal thermometer in 1889.


Why you can not use another liquid in a thermometer?

We cannot use other liquids in thermometer since it may not have a wide range of temperature for remaining in the liquid state. It may stick to the glass of the thermometer. It may be transparent. The liquid may not be sensitive to thermal expansion and may not have a uniform expansion with heat. The liquid may not be a good conductor of heat.The liquid may not be found in pure form. Hence mercury is the best liquid as a thermometric liquid.

What is a thermometric substance?

Ah, a thermometric substance is simply a material that is used to measure temperature. It's like a friend that helps us understand how hot or cold things are. Just like how different colors can bring a painting to life, different substances can help us understand temperature better. So, embrace the thermometric substances in your life and let them guide you towards a better understanding of the world around you.
