Question 16 • HCISD-Integrated Physics and Chemistry A-CR SUMMER
Read the liquid level at eye level to avoid a parallax error, which can make the reading appear higher or lower than it is. Keep the thermometer’s bulb from touching the beaker’s bottom or the ice so it measures the temperature of the substance rather than the container or a local contact point. Shaking the thermometer, using it to stir, or choosing Celsius instead of Fahrenheit does not ensure a more accurate reading.
