Question

Laboratory thermometer have every large ranges why

Answer 1

A clinical thermometer is one that you will use on a person, like the ones you stick under your tonue. A laboratory thermometer is meant for chemical testing so it has different measurements on it, reading different degrees on it. For example the clinical thermometer will only measure between 80 and 106 degrees because that is the range of body temperatures for humans. A laboratory themometer will cover a much larger range, including boiling point and absolute zero. Also if you are in USA the lab thermometer will have Celsius and Fahrenheit on it, whereas the clinical will only have Fahrenheit. Also the clinical thermometer doesnt have mercury in it because it is poisonous for human consumption, and the laboratory thermometer will have mercury.
hope that helps!
