The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
An alcohol thermometer makes use of alcohol's changing _______ in order to measure temperature. As the temperature goes up, the alcohol contained in the thermometer increases in volume, filling more of the thermometer's tube.
A.
mass
B.
state
C.
chemical composition
D.
density
Answer:
D.
density
Explanation:
Every kind of thermometer makes use of a change in a particular physical property of a substance as a measure of temperature. It must be a property that changes with temperature.
Density of a substance changes with temperature. Even though the mass of alcohol in glass remains constant, but its volume increases or decreases with change in temperature leading to a change in volume and consequently a change in density of the alcohol in glass. This change is used as a measure of the change in temperature.
<span>So when the chemist combines Ethane (CH3CH3) and Chlorine (Cl2) with the intention of producing Chloroethane (CH3CH2Cl), the other product that's formed in this reaction is 1,2-dichloroethane (ClCH2CH2Cl) also called as Ethylene dichloride with molecular weight of 98.954 g/mol. This is a colorless oily flammable substance that weighs heaver when vaporized.</span>
