Mercury is used in thermometers because it expands and contracts consistently and uniformly with changes in temperature. This property allows for accurate readings. Additionally, mercury remains a liquid over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for measuring both high and low temperatures.
What else can I help you with?
Why does Mercury in the the thermometer rise?
Mercury rises in a thermometer when the temperature increases because mercury expands as it heats up. This expansion of the mercury column inside the thermometer is used to measure the temperature of the surrounding environment.
What is the mercury called on a clinical thermometer?
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is called mercury. It is used to measure body temperature by expanding and rising within the thermometer.
What color is the Mercury in a Mercury thermometer?
Mercury in a Mercury thermometer is typically silver in color.
Why does the mercury in the thermometer go up when the temperature is high?
In a mercury thermometer, the mercury expands when it is heated, causing it to rise in the thermometer's narrow tube. This increase in volume is a physical property of mercury known as thermal expansion. The height of the mercury column in the thermometer is then used to measure the temperature.
What type of thermometer is widely used in science classrooms?
Frequently thermometers filled with an alcohol; but also thermometers with mercury, with thermoresistance, thermocouples, etc.
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcholic thermometer?
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcoholic thermometer
What is Mercury thermometer use to measure?
A mercury thermometer is used to measure temperature.
What liquids are used in thermometer?
Mercury and alcohol
Why does Mercury in the the thermometer rise?
Mercury rises in a thermometer when the temperature increases because mercury expands as it heats up. This expansion of the mercury column inside the thermometer is used to measure the temperature of the surrounding environment.
Why can a mercury thermometer be used only at high temperatures?
A mercury thermometer can go down to -30 deg C
Why is mercury used in a thermometer why not green water?
Water does not change as much in volume with temperature as much as Mercury does, which makes it more difficult to read temperature Changes on a scale.
Who element used of the glass tube of clinical thermometer to measure thermometer?
mercury
How is mercury used in a thermometer?
toxic poison
What happen to the mercury when the bulb placed in hot water?
When a thermometer bulb containing mercury is placed in hot water, the mercury inside expands, causing the level of mercury to rise. This expansion of mercury is used to measure the increase in temperature accurately.
What is the mercury called on a clinical thermometer?
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is called mercury. It is used to measure body temperature by expanding and rising within the thermometer.
When was the did the water thermometer invented?
i think you mean a mercury theremometer
What color is the Mercury in a Mercury thermometer?
Mercury in a Mercury thermometer is typically silver in color.
