Explain the working principle of a clinical thermometer ​

Chemistry
1 answer:
bagirrra123 [75]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A clinical thermometer is a thermometer used to measure human body temperature. Most made in the 20th century are mercury-in-glass thermometers. They are accurate and sensitive, having a narrow place where the mercury level rises very fast. A kink in the tube stops the mercury level from falling on its own.

If 28.4 g of HgO decomposes and produces 2.0 g of oxygen, then 26 grams of Hg is produced.

<h3>What is decomposition reaction?</h3>

Decomposition reactions occur when complex chemical entities split apart into smaller components. Decomposition reactions often demand energy input.

There are three different kinds of breakdown reactions: thermal, photolytic, and electrolytic.

Mass_{reactant = Mass_{product}

Mass_{mercury oxide = Mass_{mercury} + mass_{oxygen}

28g =        mass_{mercury} + 2g

   mass_{mercury} = 26g

Thus, 28.4 g of HgO decomposes and produces 2.0 g of oxygen, then 26 grams of Hg is produced.

percentage mass_{mercury} = \frac{mass_{mercury}}{mass_{mercury}oxide}  X 100%

= 26g/28g

= 93%

thus  93% is the percent by mass of Hg present in HgO.

If you were making S’mores [using a chocolate bar, gram-crackers, and marshmallows] at a campfire, would this process be conside
OLga [1]

Answer:

The process of making S'more by adding chocolate bar, gram-crackers, and marshmallows in layers is not a chemical reaction

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, the substances involved in the reaction are known as the reactants and the substances produced have different physical and chemical properties than those of the reactants and they are known as the products.

The bonds that hold the atoms of the reactants are broken down and rearranged, creating entirely new substances as products. Therefore, energy must be added and/or evolved in any chemical reaction and all reactant atoms should be involved in the reaction.

The change in energy can be sensed as heat change such as increase or decrease in the temperature of the products

Since S'more does not involve any of the above changes that occur in a chemical reaction when the chocolate bar, gram-crackers, and marshmallows are put together, it is not a chemical change or a chemical reaction.

How many significant figures are in 136,000 ml?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

There are 3 sig figs

Explanation:

Sig figs are the amount of figures counting from the left side of the number until you reach the first zero. Starting from the left, I counted one, three, and six. That's 3 numbers, and therefore, that's how we got our answer. The only exception is when there is a decimal. Then all the numbers before the decimal, despite whether or not they're zeros, are sig figs.
