LaoTo read a laboratory thermometer, look at the level of the liquid inside the thermometer that corresponds to the temperature. The temperature is usually indicated next to the liquid level in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Make sure to read the thermometer at eye level and take note of the precise measurement.

What is the laboratory thermometer used for?
Measuring the temperature.
What is the function of thermometer in laboratory?
A thermometer is used for measuring accurate temperatures. Also using the degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Why is a laboratory thermometer not used to measure the temperature of a human being?
It certainly can be so used.
What will the mercury thermometer show when it is kept in ice?
The question must be asked carefully. If the thermometer is in water ice and there is no liquid water, and there is one atmosphere of pressure, the thermometer can read anything from the freezing point of water and lower, depending on the range of the thermometer. If the thermometer is in a stable mix of water and ice, it will read the freezing point of water.
Which range thermometer can be used to measure the temperature of boiling water in the smaller beaker?
A thermometer that can read up to about 110 °C and down to about 60 °C should cover all boiling points of water that you are likely to encounter in a laboratory. Realistically, you probably wouldn't need any wider range than 80 °C to 105 °C.
