How does a glass thermometer works?
As the liquid in the thermometer is heated it expands, and the only way the expanding liquid can go is upward. As the liquid in the thermometer cools, it will contract, and the liquid will fall back down into the resevoir, causing the column of liquid to move downward.
What happens to kenetic energy as temperature increases?
The average Kinetic energy of the atoms in the sample will increase as the sample is heated.
Why does liquid inside a thermometer rise as the temperature s increase?
As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the liquid molecules also increases, causing them to move more rapidly and spread out. This increase in motion leads to an expansion of the liquid, causing it to rise in the narrow tube of the thermometer.
Do neon lights get hot when they are turned on?
Neon lights do not get hot when they are turned on because they operate at a low temperature. The heat generated by the electricity is dissipated by the glass tubing, so the surface of the neon light remains cool to the touch.
How the common thermometer work by expansion?
Molecules in any substance will expand. Colder molecules will come closer together, and contract. While warmer will do the exact opposite. They will move faster and spread out due to the change in its energy( heat) and that causes the liquid to expand. In this case, upward in the tube giving you your temperature (:
Why is it necessary to use only one direction in cutting a glass tubing?
Cutting in one direction in glass tubing will reduce the places the glass will crack and break. Cutting in multiple directions greatly increases the chance of the glass tubing completely shattering when you break it off.
What is glass tubing and how it is used?
Glass tubing is exactly what it sounds like -- a tube made of glass. Glass tubing comes in all shapes in sizes, with tube diameters or just a millimeter or less up to very large tubes. It can be used for a number of things. I can be used to carry both liquid and gasses. With a triangular file, it is possible to break glass tubing into smaller pieces. Using a hot flame from a Bunsen burner, it is possible to bend glass tubing into other shapes.See the Web Links to the left for more information about how to use glass tubing.

How do you cut glass tubing?
with a quarter stick
How is glass tubing cut in the chemistry lab?
Glass tubing in the chemistry lab can be cut using a glass cutter or a file. The tubing is scored with the cutter or file, and then snapped along the line where it was scored to get a clean break. It's important to wear safety glasses and gloves when cutting glass tubing to prevent injuries.
What lab apparatuses hold glass tubing?
This is a stand.
How does the change produce by heating a wood splinter differ from that produced by heating a glass tubing?
Heating a wood splinter will lead to combustion, resulting in the release of smoke, ash, and gases due to the breakdown of the organic material. On the other hand, heating glass tubing will not combust; instead, it undergoes physical changes, such as expansion or contraction, depending on the temperature change. Glass may also soften or melt depending on the temperature, but it will not produce combustion byproducts like wood.
What happens when you hold a glass tubing over a Bunsen burner flame?
When a glass tubing is held over a Bunsen burner flame, it heats up and may eventually become soft, losing its shape or melting. This can be dangerous as molten glass can drip and cause burns. It is important to handle glass tubing with caution and use proper equipment for heating.
How dangerous is florscent tubing?
It isn't dangerous until the glass breaks. Broken glass is dangerous. The contents inside the tubing may contain mercury or other chemicals that should not be ingested.
What are the safety precautions and techniques when inserting a glass tubing in a rubber stopper?
never attempt to insert glass tubing that has a jagged end, all glass tubing should be fire polished before its inserted into a rubber stopper. Use water or glycerin as a lubricant at the end of the glass tubing before inserting it into the rubber stopper. ask teacher for proper lubricant. Protect hands and fingers by wearing leather gloves or placing a folded cloth between your hands and the tubing. hold it as close as possible to the part it is inserted to the rubber stopper. always point the tubing away from the palm of your hand that holds the stopper. use a twisting motion and push the tubing into the stopper. At the end of the experiment put on leather gloves or place the folded cloth between your hands and the tubing and remover the stoppers from the tubing to keep them from sticking to the glass. if it wont budge, use lubricant.
Ordinary glass is filled to the brim with water If the temperature decreased how much water could be added to the glass?
It depends on: -The current temperature of the water. (If it was already cold, the water would probably decrease because both heat and cold causes water to increases) -The size of the glass. -How much the temperature decreases.
What is the purpose of wetting the glass tubing before inserting into a stopper?
Wetting the glass tubing before inserting it into a stopper helps create a better seal by reducing the risk of air pockets. The water acts as a lubricant, making it easier to insert the glass tube into the stopper without damaging either component.
