    Why Do Thermometers Show the Same Reading in Ethanol and Water?

    Yeahh thx. I have tried it and it works for small masses of mercury though there is still a little difference in the reading ( of about 0.5 degrees celcius). So would you agree if I say that the temperature reading given by a liquid-in-glass thermometer is not the true temperature of the body...

    Why Do Thermometers Show the Same Reading in Ethanol and Water?

    what I mean is that if for example, we take mercury(20 degrees celcius, in fact room temperature) & in contact with water(50 degreees celcius) and on the other side we take the same mercury at room temperature but in contact with Ethanol at 50 degrees celcius, the final temperature reached in...

    Why Do Thermometers Show the Same Reading in Ethanol and Water?

    Homework Statement Material X,which is at a higher temperature, and Mercury are brought into contact for some time to allow heat transfer to take place. CX : Heat capacity of Material X θX : Temperature of Material X (At first) CM : Heat capacity of Mercury θM : Temperature of...
