Outline 3 disadvantages and advantage of water and alcohol as a template liquid​

Advantages of mercury as a thermometric liquid.

-It is a good conductor of heat and therefore the whole liquid reaches the temperature of the surroundings quickly.

-It does not wet (cling to the sides of) the tube.

-It has a high boiling point

-It expands uniformly (linear expansion) and responds quickly to temperature changes, hence is sensitive.

-It has a visible meniscus.

Disadvantages

-Mercury is very poisonous.

-its expansively is fairly low

-it is expensive

-It has a high freezing point therefore it cannot be used in places where the temperature gets very low.

Alcohol has a thermometric fluid

-Alcohol expands uniformly.

-It has a low freezing point (-115 degreecentigrade) therefore it is very suitable for place where the temperature gets very low.

-It has a large expansively

-It is an easily available cheap liquid, which is safe to use

Disadvantages of alcohol

-it wets the tube

-it has a low boiling point (cannot be used in places with high temperatures)

-it does not react quickly to changes in temperature

-It needs to be dyed, since it's colourless.

Disadvantages of water

-Water has high specific heat capacity. So it cannot be used for measuring small temperature differences.

- Water will wet the surface of the glass tube. It is a sticky substance.

- Water is transparent

Explanation:

root word, prefixes, and suffixes

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
