Asked by Tina

In calibrating a thermometer by setting only the freezing and boiling points, what assumptions are you making regarding the internal diameter of the thermometer and the expansion of alcohol?
Answered by DrBob222
You are assuming that the capillary bore is constant diameter and that the expansion of the fluid (whether it is Hg, alcohol, or any other liquid) is constant with temperature.
