Why are thermometers filled with alcohol instead for water?

Chemistry

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.

5.2 G of HCl are dissolved in 25 mL of solution. What is the molarity?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

0.21 M

Explanation:

Molarity is the calculation of the solution in which the number of solute per liter of the solutions. It is the most common measurement unit that is used to measure the concentration of the solution.

The molarity is the unit that is used to measure or calculate the volume of the solvent. The amount of solvent is used in the chemical reaction.

The amount of the two solvent in the same quantity is measured by the formula called c1v1 and c2v2.

If you have a pitcher of lemonade and the recipe calls for 2 lemons and you decided to use 4, would this be considered diluted o
pantera1 [17]

Answer: This would be considered concentrated because if you're upping the recipe on your own accord, it would be way more sour, causing the lemonade to be more concentrated. It would be diluted if you added less than 2 lemons.

Why is studying light and electrons important for chemistry and understanding the universe?
Brut [27]

Explanation :

The study of light and electrons are important for chemistry & universe.

   As we know, everything is made up of particles even light & universe also. The particles are made of atoms and that atoms are made up of electrons, protons & neutrons.

   An electron is one of the most important type of subatomic particles. Electrons combine with the proton to form atom. These electrons, protons & neutrons play a vital role in chemistry and universe.

   The importance of an electron is that when two atoms react with each other or approach each other, their outermost shells come into contact first and these outermost shells electrons are involved in the chemical reaction.

    Also important for chemical reactions, creating bonds, for electricity and the understanding of electrons has allowed for the better understanding of some forces which are in our universe such as electromagnetic force.

    We know that the light is act as particle nature and it is a part of universe. As we know that chemists are only responsible for the chemical's study. Chemists cannot study the whole universe that is why they study light and the light is important because nothing would be able to survive.

    The studying of light is important for the photoelectric effect, absorption, bio-molecules synthesis, vitamin D synthesis, vision, colors, drying & evaporation, sterilization, solar energy, spectroscopy, signal system and also for electron excitation.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

See below  

Explanation:

<u>          Name         </u>  <u>Formula </u>      <u>       Major species     </u> <u>  </u>        

Zinc iodide              ZnI₂            H₂O(ℓ),  I⁻(aq), Zn²⁺(aq),  

Nitrogen(I) oxide     N₂O           H₂O(ℓ),  N₂O(aq)

Sodium nitrite         NaNO₂      H₂O(ℓ),  Na⁺(aq), NO₂⁻(aq)

Glucose                   C₆H₁₂O₆    H₂O(ℓ),  C₆H₁₂O₆(aq)

Nickel(II) iodide       NiI₂            H₂O(ℓ),  I⁻(aq), Ni²⁺(aq)

  • Glucose and nitrogen(I) oxide are covalent compounds. They do not dissociate in solution.
  • The compounds containing metals are ionic. They produce ions in solution.
  • ZnI₂ and NiI₂ produce twice as many iodide ions as metal ions.
