The thermometer must be <u>in contact with the ice/water only</u>

Explanation:

In this experiment in the lab, the aim is to measure the specific latent heat of fusion of water.

The specific latent heat of fusion of a substance is the amount of heat energy required to completely melt a certain amount of the substance, mathematically:

\lambda = \frac{Q}{m}

where

Q is the heat supplied to the substance

m is the mass of the substance

In this experiment, the aim is to measure the specific latent heat of fusion of water. In order to do that, a mix of ice/water is heated with a certain amount of heat Q, and then it is evaluated the amount of mass m that undergoes melting.

An important precaution that must be taken in this experiment is that the temperature of the water/ice mixture remains constant and equal to the melting point of ice (otherwise, part of the heat supplied to the mixture is used to increase the temperature of the water, resulting in an inaccurate measure of Q). Therefore, a thermometer must be used to check constantly the temperature, and this thermometer must be placed inside the ice/water mixture only (It should not touch the saucepan, whose temperature can be higher).

So, the correct answer is

in contact with the ice/water only

Is It Deadly To Mix Bleach, Rubbing Alcohol, And/or Hydrogen Peroxide?
Oduvanchick [21]
Mixing bleach with rubbing alcohol and/or hydrogen peroxide can run the risk of producing chlorine gas. This is a gas that if inhaled in excess, or at all, is extremely dangerous, harmful or even fatal. Keeping this in mind, it is therefore not recommended that you mix these substances together. The label of your rubbing alcohol will recommend any substances it can or cannot be mixed with.
