Why are thermometers filled with alcohol instead for water?

Hello. Most thermometers would use mercury, but some use alcohol thanks to its freezing points. Alcohol freezes at -114 Celsius, while water freezes at 0 Celsius. If it was freezing outside, the water would freeze too, making the thermometer useless.

Most thermometers are filled with mercury, but some are filled with alcohol. The reason we use alcohol instead of water is that alcohol has a lower freezing point (-114°C) than water (0°C). 

Also, alcohol doesn't condensate on the top unlike water, which makes the reading of the thermometer easier to read.

What is this process of producing more offspring than possibly survive called?
tamaranim1 [39]

Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.

Darwin divided this theory into multiple parts but overall it fits into Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, so that would be your answer.

In case you're wondering about the others:

1. Organisms produce more offspring than actually survive.

2. Every organism must struggle to survive.

3. There is variation within a species.

4. Some variations allow members of a species to survive and reproduce better than others.

5. Organisms that survive and reproduce pass their traits to their offspring, and the helpful traits gradually appear in more and more of the population.

(these are brief explanations, they go into more detail)

Good luck!

What's the structure of Cl2O? Is it polar or non-polar?
lisabon 2012 [21]
Answer: C) Bent or angular, polar
Explanation:
The central atom oxygen has two lone pairs and two bond pairs in . The number of electron pairs are 4, that means the hybridization will be and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral. But as there are two lone pair of atoms around the central oxygen atom, repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be bent shape.
The compound is polar as the net dipole moment of oxygen - fluoride bonds do not cancel each other out.

Suppose you have a 0.10 M solution of AlBr3. What is the concentration of each ion? A. 0.10 M Al3+ ions and 0.30 M Br- ions B. 0
podryga [215]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of Al^{3+} ions is 0.10 M and that of Br^- ions is 0.30 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Concentration of AlBr_3 = 0.10 M

The chemical equation for the ionization of aluminium bromide follows:

AlBr_3\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3Br^-

1 mole of aluminium bromide produces 1 mole of aluminium ions and 3 moles of bromide ions

So, concentration of aluminium ions = 0.10 M

Concentration of bromide ions = [(3\times 0.1)]=0.3M

Hence, the concentration of Al^{3+} ions is 0.10 M and that of Br^- ions is 0.30 M
