Alcohol. Mercury is very toxic.
I would take an alcohol thermometer because it can accurately measure temperatures as low as -70 degrees Celsius, whereas a mercury thermometer may not work reliably at such low temperatures. Additionally, alcohol is less likely to freeze at extremely cold temperatures compared to mercury.
Alcohol would be used in a thermometer to measure temperatures at the North Pole because it has a lower freezing point than Mercury. Alcohol remains liquid at colder temperatures, making it suitable for use in extreme cold environments like the North Pole. Mercury would freeze at the very low temperatures experienced at the North Pole.
Yes, it is dangerous if mercury from a broken thermometer enters your pool. Mercury is a toxic substance that can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, and it can contaminate the water in your pool. It is important to contact a professional to safely clean and remove the mercury from the pool.
Mercury freezes at -38.83°C (-37.89°F). In order to freeze a mercury thermometer, the temperature would have to be lower than this point. However, prolonged exposure to temperatures below freezing may damage the thermometer.
No, even if glass and mercury expanded at the same rates, a common mercury thermometer would not be feasible because the volume of mercury would still change non-linearly with temperature due to its high thermal expansion coefficient. This would result in inaccurate temperature measurements.
because it would turn to ice and alcohol wouldn't
An Alcohol thermometer would be the best as it is more sensitive than the mercury thermometer.
There is no mechanical difference between a kelvin thermometer and any other kind so I think it would be the same as other thermometers i.e. Alcohol (because it is not as dangerous as mercury)

If I only had those 2 choices... I would use ALCOHOL since Mercury freezes at -38.72° Celsius. The North Pole can get down below -50° Celsius. Ethanol (alcohol) freezes at -114 ° Celsius Methanol (alcohol) freezes at -97.8° Celsius

Both alcohol and mercury thermometers are effective for measuring temperature, but alcohol thermometers are generally safer to use due to the toxicity of mercury. However, mercury thermometers provide more accurate readings at higher temperatures compared to alcohol thermometers.
It's the red thing in thermometers. [wrong I'm sorry.] the red thread in a thermometer is coloured alcohol. If the thread is mercury, then it will be silver-coloured.
It could be used to do this - it is capable of doing it. However, Mercury is poisonous and a mercury thermometer is made out of fragile glass. Thus the danger that the thermometer would break releasing mercury into the milk (which would be for a person to drink) means that a mercury thermomiter is not the temperature sensor to use in this instance.

The thermometer would melt
