Water is not a good thermometric liquid because it?
A
expands unevenly between 0 ºC and 4 ºC
B
maintains fixed density
C
has low freezing point
D
wets glass
Verified Correct Answer: A.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Water is most anomalous at low temperatures, with a remarkable density maximum at 4^\circC.
water is not used as a thermometric liquid because it has low thermal expansivity, high specific capacity, high vapor pressure and wets glass.
