Question

Study the readings on the given Six's Maximum, Minimum thermometer and answer the following questions. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Six's maximum and the minimum thermometer is used for measuring the day's maximum and minimum temperature.

It consists of a U-shaped capillary tube with bulbs at both ends.

The bend of the U-tube is filled with mercury.

One of the bulbs is completely filled with alcohol and the other bulb is partly filled with alcohol.

The space in the bulb partly filled with alcohol is originally vacuum (but may contain alcohol vapor later).

The thermometric liquid is alcohol, whose expansion and contraction allow the change in temperature to be recorded.
