Question

STATE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE LABORATORY THERMOMETER AND CLINICAL THERMOMETER​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Similarities Both thermometers are used to measure temperature and both of them use mercury. Differences Clinical thermometer is used to measure human body temperature whereas laboratory thermometer is used to measure temperature of other object which has higher temperature than human body temperature.

Differences

The clinical thermometer is used to measure body temperature, however, laboratory thermometer is not used for the purpose of measuring body temperature. The temperature range of clinical thermometers is 35°C to 42°C and that of laboratory thermometers is -10°C to 110°C.

Similarities:

(i) Both clinical and laboratory thermometers have long, narrow, uniform glass tubes.

(ii) The bulbs of both the thermometers have mercury in them.

Differences:

(i) The temperature range of clinical thermometers is from 35°C to 42°C while that of laboratory thermometer is from −10°C to 110°C.

(ii) Clinical thermometer is used to measure the temperature of a human body. However, laboratory thermometer cannot be used to measure the temperature of a human body.

(iii) The least count of both the thermometers differs.

(iv) Unlike clinical thermometer that can be tilted, laboratory thermometer is kept upright while reading the temperature values.
