The end points are ice which is zero celsius, and boiling water which is 100 celsius. Divide the distance between into 100 equal degrees.

To calibrate a thermometer into degrees Celsius, you can immerse it in a mixture of ice and water (0°C) and adjust the dial or settings until it reads 0°C. You can also use boiling water (100°C) to calibrate the high end. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for calibration if available.

If you started with water -10 degrees celsius describe what a thermometer would show if you heat it until it is over 110 degrees celsius?
The thermometer would show a gradual increase in temperature from -10 degrees Celsius as the water is heated. Once it reaches 0 degrees Celsius, the temperature will plateau until all the ice melts. Then, the thermometer will continue to rise above 0 degrees Celsius until it reaches over 110 degrees Celsius as the water boils.
What units does a meteorologist's thermometer measure?
Degrees Celsius.
What is the function of thermometer in laboratory?
A thermometer is used for measuring accurate temperatures. Also using the degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius.
What are the units on a thermometer known as?
The units on a thermometer are known as degrees. Common units for temperature measurement include degrees Celsius (°C) and degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
What metric are used in a thermometer?
Celsius degrees. These are equivalent, in size, to the basic unit, a Kelvin.
You are trying to calibrate a celsius thermometer. when you place the thermometer into a beaker of boiling water what should the thermometer read?
The thermometer should read 100 degrees Celsius when placed in boiling water at standard atmospheric pressure.
How do you calibrate a thermometer?
You first put ice into a cup then add cold water, then stir. You then wait until it is 0 degrees ( which will take about 5 minutes ) then you put the thermometer in and make sure it is 0 degrees celsius. Then boil water and put a thermometer in and make sure it's 100 degrees celsius.
What is the freezing point in degrees of Celsius of water?
0º is the freezing point of water in Celsius.Zero. (that's how you calibrate your thermometer)
Which thermometer shows degrees Celsius?
the Celsius thermometer
How could you calibrate a thermometer which had no scale marked?
Put it in a pot of water. Boil the water. Then mark the spot on the thermometer at which the water boils - the spot you marked will be 100 degrees celsius. Then put it in water in the freezer and mark it. The point at which the water freezes will be 0 degrees celsius. Then measure the length between 0 and 100 and make 9 equal marks for each 10 degrees and your thermometer is calibrated.
What is the smallest unit on the Celsius thermometer?
The smallest unit on the Celsius thermometer is 1 degree Celsius.
What is the boiling point of the Celsius thermometer?
it is 212 degrees celsius
What is the boiling point of water in degrees Celsius on a thermometer?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius and the melting point of water is 0 degrees Celsius
What is celsius temperature when a Fahrenheit thermometer reads 98.6?
The equivalent Celsius temperature when a Fahrenheit thermometer reads 98.6 degrees is 37 degrees. This is the normal body temperature in Celsius.
What would be the temperature be in Celsius if the thermometer reads 75 degrees?
The temperature would be 23.9 degrees Celsius.
If a thermometer indicates forty degrees Celsius what is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?
40 degrees Celsius = 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you started with water -10 degrees celsius describe what a thermometer would show if you heat it until it is over 110 degrees celsius?
