A. An alcohol thermometer can measure the freezing point of a liquid that freezes at −80 °C.

B. An alcohol thermometer can measure a wider range of temperatures in a laboratory.

C. An alcohol thermometer is more reliable to measure the temperature of a liquid in a beaker that is 80 °C.

D. An alcohol thermometer is better to measure the boiling points of colorless liquids.

Explanation:

I just took the test and the correct answer is A. An alcohol thermometer can measure the freezing point of a liquid that freezes at −80 °C!

Good Luck!!

Answer:

An alcohol thermometer can measure the freezing point of a liquid that freezes at −80 °C.

Explanation:

A thermometer is a device used to measure temperature. A thermometer must contain a thermometric substance. A thermometric substance is any substance having a particular physical property that changes with temperature.

For all liquid-in-glass thermometers, the property that changes with change in temperature is the height of the liquid. There are two kinds of liquid-in-glass thermometers; mercury-in-glass thermometer and alcohol-in-glass thermometer.

Alcohol-in-glass thermometer measures very low temperatures up to as low as -115°C. If it measures such a low temperature, then it can efficiently measure -80°C hence the answer.

Alcohol-in-glass thermometers have a narrower temperature range than mercury-in-glass thermometer. The later is well adapter for the measurement bof higher tempetures up to 357°C.

A molecular orbital that decreases the electron density between two nuclei is said to be ____.

nikklg [1K]

A molecular orbital that decreases the electron density between two nuclei is said to be antibonding.

The bonding orbital, which would be more stable and encourages the bonding of the two H atoms into $H_{2}$ , is the orbital that is located in a less energetic state than just the electron shells of the separate atoms. The antibonding orbital, which has higher energy but is less stable, resists bonding when it is occupied.

An asterisk (sigma*) is placed next to the corresponding kind of molecular orbital to indicate an antibonding orbital. The antibonding orbital known as * would be connected to sigma orbitals, as well as antibonding pi orbitals are known as $\pi$ * orbitals.
