Alcohol is used in Six's max min thermometers because it has a low freezing point and a wide temperature range before boiling, making it suitable for measuring both high and low temperatures accurately. Additionally, alcohol has a high thermal expansion coefficient, allowing the thermometer to respond quickly to temperature changes.

What is a max-min thermometer?
A max-min thermometer is a type of thermometer that records the maximum and minimum temperatures reached over a specific period. It contains two markers that can be moved by the mercury or alcohol in the thermometer to indicate the highest and lowest temperatures. This type of thermometer is often used to monitor temperature fluctuations in indoor or outdoor environments.
What is max thermometer and min thermometer?
A max thermometer is a thermometer that records the highest temperature reached during a period of time, while a min thermometer records the lowest temperature. These thermometers are used to track temperature fluctuations over time and can be helpful for monitoring conditions in various settings, from weather forecasting to industrial processes.
How do you read a min max thermometer?
To read a min max thermometer, look at the two separate scales for the minimum and maximum temperatures. The lowest temperature recorded will be displayed on the minimum scale, while the highest temperature recorded will be shown on the maximum scale. Reset the thermometer to start a new recording period.
Why does the mercury fall or rise in a clinical thermometer when it is taken out of the mouth?
A clinical thermometer measures the max temp of the human body due to the expansion of the mercury in the bulb, which flows past a kink in the column and rises in the graduated stem, to read the highest body-temp. Once it is removed from the body, the mercury stays at that level, and does not fall because it cannot flow back into the bulb -- the kink prevents the back flow. It has to be shaken vigorously, as you know, for us to get the mercury back; then it is ready to take the temp again.. Also, the temp cannot rise further on its own from the max reading because the mercury does not expand the moment the thermometer is taken out of the body. Incidentally, temp can be measured under the armpits and in the rectum also.
Did Max Planck have elements or buildings named after him?
Planck didn't have an element named after him, but he has a fundamental physical constant named after him, the Planck constant. And, because it is a fundamental physical constant, it has "spawned" a "group" of units (called Planck units) that are interrelated because they all contain the Planck constant. The Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology and the Max Planck Institute of Biological Cybernetics on the Max Planck Campus are named after him. The Max Planck Society (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft) operates some 80 research institutes all over Germany, (and a few in other European countries), which usually bear the name "Max Planck Institute (MPI) of ...". The Society does basic research in the natural sciences, but also does work in the social sciences and humanities. Links are provided.

What are the highest and lowest temperatures in Fahrenheit on a thermometer?
Usually, max 212 F and min 32 F It depends on for what the thermometer will be used. My greenhouse min/max thermometer has a min of -40°F and a max of 120°F A (non-digital) clinical thermometer has a min of 94°F and a max of 108°F A cook's (sugar/jam) thermometer has a min of 100°F and a max of 400°F

What values can be obtained from min max thermometer?
The minimum, maximum, and current temperature.
How do you read a min max thermometer?
To read a min max thermometer, look at the two separate scales for the minimum and maximum temperatures. The lowest temperature recorded will be displayed on the minimum scale, while the highest temperature recorded will be shown on the maximum scale. Reset the thermometer to start a new recording period.
How do you check calculation of current temperature on a min max thermometer?
Compare the readings at the end of the red line.
What is the max number of electrons an orbital may contain?
Just two, with opposite spin.
What is max penalty for sending alcohol through the mail?
The maximum penalty for sending alcohol through the mail is the death penalty or imprisonment for life. The person convicted of mailing alcohol which results in the death of another person, will be subject to the maximum penalty.
