What liquid metal is used in a chemical thermometer |
|
Answer» Answer: Explanation: Mercury is used in many thermometers. Since Liquids have a definite VOLUME but indefinite shape, it is convenient to use a LIQUID to make a thermometer since the liquid will expand/contract based on HEATING and you can measure the TEMPERATURE with just a ruler. Mercury is a liquid for a large temperature range around room temperature, so it is convenient. |
