To determine if liquid Z can be used to make a liquid thermometer, we can analyze the properties of the liquid based on the information provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Properties of Liquid Z**: - Liquid Z expands on heating and contracts on cooling. This is a desirable property for a thermometer as it allows for the measurement of temperature changes. 2. **Non-Sticking to the Walls**: ...
