Difference between laboratory thermometer and clinical thermometer

answer: 1) temperature range in laboratory and clinical thermometer

a clinical thermometer’s range is 35 degrees celsius to 42 degrees celsius while a laboratory thermometer’s range is wider at -10 degrees celsius to 110 degrees celsius.

2) accuracy of laboratory and clinical thermometer

as a laboratory thermometer is more complex, it yields more accurate results as compared to a clinical thermometer.

3) location

clinical thermometers are often used in various locations like houses, clinics, and hospitals while lab thermometers are mainly located in laboratories.

4) application of laboratory and clinical thermometer

lab thermometers may be partially or fully immersed in liquids. on the other hand, clinical thermometers may be placed in the armpit, mouth, or anus.

5) kink

regarding mercury-filled devices, clinical thermometers have kinks to prevent the instant back flow of mercury. on the other hand, laboratory thermometers do not usually need to actively stop such back flow.

6) users

due to its simplicity, almost anybody can be taught to use a clinical thermometer. on the contrary, the lab thermometer is mainly used by individuals in the science field.

7) purpose of laboratory and clinical thermometer

while laboratory thermometers are intended to support a wide array of research activities, clinical thermometers are made for health care purposes.

8) mercury in laboratory and clinical thermometer

the utilization of mercury is typically less disadvantageous among laboratory thermometer users as compared to clinical thermometer users as the latter is more commonly used by the masses and has less restrictions.

9) factors to consider

regarding clinical thermometers, the nature of suspected illness and developmental stage of the individual are typically taken into consideration. as for laboratory thermometers, the nature of the research method is mainly factored-in when choosing which device to use.

10) accessibility of laboratory and clinical thermometer

since there are more individuals who need clinical thermometers, these devices are more accessible as compared to laboratory thermometers.

explanation:

differences: clinical thermometer is used to measure body temperature and laboratory thermometer is not used for the purpose of measuring body temperature.

i just learnt this recently but i need to look through my notes again

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
