Consider a mercury-in-glass thermometer as a temperature-measuring system. Discuss the various stages of this measuring system in detail. | Numerade

SOLVED:When a mercury thermometer is heated, the mercury expands and rises in the thin tube of glass. What does this indicate about the relative rates of expansion for mercury and glass? What would happen if their expansion rates were the same?

SOLVED:The length of the mercury column in the old-fashioned mercury-in-glass thermometer is 15.00  cm when the thermometer is in contact with water at its triple point. Consider the length of the mercury column as the thermometric property X and let θbe the empirical temperature determined by this thermometer. (a) Calculate the empirical temperature when the length of the mercury column is 19.00  cm (b) If X can be measured with a precision of 0.01  cm, can this thermometer distinguish between

Why is mercury banned on airplanes? ✈️⚠️ This liquid metal reacts with aluminum, the primary material in planes, creating a dangerous reaction that can compromise safety. Even an old thermometer can pose a risk!" #science #reelsfbシ | Manish Gupta

SOLVED: A mercury thermometer is constructed as shown below. The Pyrex glass capillary tube has a diameter of 0.00360 cm, and the bulb has a diameter of 0.280 cm. Find the change in height of the mercury column that occurs with a temperature change of 34.0°C. 1.63 cm

In a mercury thermometer, the ice point (lower fixed point) is marked as 10^0 and the steam point (upper fixed point) is marked as 130^0 . At 40^0C temperature, what will this thermometer read?
