Question

A. Answer the following questions.
1. Name two common temperature scales.
2. What is the boiling point of water in the Celsius scale?
3. Give one advantage of using an alcohol thermometer.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) The two most common temperature scales are the Fahrenheit and Celsius (Centigrade) scales.

2) 100°C

3) Advantages of using alcohol over mercury as thermometric liquid are: i) Alcohol has greater value of temperature coefficient of expansion than mercury. ii) it's freezing point is below –100°C. Thus, alcohol thermometer is more sensitive than mercury thermometer and can be used to measure the temperature below –40°C.
