<h2>Answer</h2>

Liquid in thermometer chnages on the basis of changing temperature

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Mercury is the most commonly used liquid in a thermometer. The thermometric property of mercury is that it expand or contract with change in temperature. With a rise in temperature, the liquid gets heated and expand and when temperature reduces, the liquid moves down to the tube. This thermometric property  of mercury is used to measure temperature.

Most liquids expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled.

A thermometer consists of a bulb of liquid connected to a thin capillary tube.

When the liquid is heated, it expands and moves up the capillary column. When the liquid cools, it contracts and moves back down the column.

You can determine the temperature by reading the position of the liquid against a graduated temperature scale.

Answer: The Diver's air tank is filled with oxygen gas.

The filling of air tank while keeping in water can be explained in reference to the Charles' Law.

Charles' Law: It states that the volume of the ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.

                        V\propto T    (at constant Pressure)

The Scuba tank contains cold water and is present at high pressure. The gas which is put in the tank will be compact and would not expand. As the temperature is low inside the tank, hence by using Charles' Law, the volume will also decrease inside the tank.

When the air tank is filled, it is always kept in a tub of water because the pressure is high and hence, more oxygen gas can be filled inside the air tank.
