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.

"Work done by a constant force on an object is the product of the force and the distance moved by the object in the direction of the force" -textbook

There is work done ONLY if the direction of the force and the direction the item is moving are the same. In figure A, the direction of the force (the lifting) is upwards (defying gravity), and the book is moving upwards, so work is done. In figure B, the force is still moving upwards (the person is carrying the books) but the book is moving to the right, so there is NO work done.

Over long time scales the solubility-temperature feedback (below), can affect climate. An increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrat
Mars2501 [29]

The fact that CO2 is released from oceans due to further rise in temperature is an example of a negative feedback.

A negative feedback is one in which the process that produces the feedback is interrupted. That is, the process is stopped as a result of the feedback received.

In this case, CO2  which leads to global warming dissolves in the ocean which serves a large sink for the gas. However, as the increase in ocean temperatures causes decrease in solubility of CO2, more CO2 is released leading to further temperature rise. This is an example of a negative feedback loop.

Given the following reaction: 2D(g) + 3E(g) + F(g) \longrightarrow⟶ 2G(g) + H(g) When the concentration of D is decreasing by 0.
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Rate of reaction = -d[D] / 2dt  = -d[E]/ 3dt = -d[F]/dt  = d[G]/2dt = d[H]/dt

The concentration of H is increasing, half as fast as D decreases: 0.05 mol L–1.s–1

E decreseas 3/2 as fast as G increases = 0.30 M/s

Explanation:

Rate of reaction = -d[D] / 2dt  = -d[E]/ 3dt = -d[F]/dt  = d[G]/2dt = d[H]/dt

When the concentration of D is decreasing by 0.10 M/s, how fast is the concentration of H increasing:

Given data = d[D]/dt = 0.10 M/s

-d[D] / 2dt  = d[H]/dt

d[H]/dt = 0.05 M/s

The concentration of H is increasing, half as fast as D decreases: 0.05 mol L–1.s–1

When the concentration of G is increasing by 0.20 M/s, how fast is the concentration of E decreasing:

d[G] / 2dt  = -d[H]/3dt

E decreseas 3/2 as fast as G increases = 0.30 M/s
