Q

The liquid in glass thermometer measures

A

Change in volume of a fixed mass of liquid

19
Q

For sensitivity a liquid in glass thermometer should have

A

A bulb made of thin glass,narrow capillary tube, A liquid with high expansivity

20
Q

A liquid with good expansivity should

A

Increase uniformly with change in temp
ii.Have high boiling point and low boiling point
iii.be easily seen in glass

21
Q

The disadvantage ofusing mercury in glass thermometer is the

A

Unreliability of its accuracy

22
Q

The main advantage of Mercury over Alchohol is its

A

High conductivity,High boiling point(357•C)it doesn’t wet glass

23
Q

The Advantage of Alchohol over mercury is

A

High freezing point,Better expansivity(6x)

24
Q

The most prominent feature of the thermometer is the

A

Kink or constriction

25
Q

The kink allows

A

The expanding Mercury to flow past it

26
Q

Its advisable not to sterilize the equipment because the

A

Thermometer has a small temperature range which doesn’t extend up to 100•C it will break

Svp =Equal to the atmospheric pressure

41
Q

Relative humidity is

A

The mass ratio of waterr vapour presenf in the air to the ratio required to saturate it

42
Q

The air conditioner not only cools the air but it also

A

Cleans filters and circulate air in a room

43
Q

Dew point is the temperature at which the

A

Water vapour in the air is just enough to saturate it

44

Dee point depends on prevalent atmospheric conditions like

A

Temp,Wind and amount of water vapour
