You are planning to go to a very cold place where the night temperature drops to -50°C.Which thermometer will you take with you - mercury or alcohol? Why?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

The range of mercury thermometer is - 37°C to 356°C . At temperature below - 37°C , mercury starts converting into solid so this thermometer becomes non-  functional . Hence to measure temperature of - 50°C , alcohol thermometer is suitable . The range of alcohol thermometer is - 112° C to 78°C .
