The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements provided: **Statement 1**: Water is considered unsuitable for use in thermometers. **Statement 2**: Thermal expansion of water is non-uniform. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Thermometers**: - A thermometer is a device used to measure temperature. It typically contains a liquid (like mercury) that expands and rises in a capillary tube as the temperature increases. **Hint**: Recall the basic working principle of a thermometer and the properties of the liquid used inside it. 2. **Evaluating Statement 1**: - Water has a very limited temperature range in which it remains in liquid form (0°C to 100°C). Below 0°C, it freezes into ice, and above 100°C, it turns into steam. This makes water unsuitable for measuring temperatures outside this range. **Hint**: Consider the physical state of water at various temperatures and how that affects its usability in thermometers. 3. **Evaluating Statement 2**: - The thermal expansion of water is indeed non-uniform. Water expands differently at different temperatures, particularly around 4°C, where it actually contracts instead of expanding. This non-uniform expansion can lead to inaccuracies in temperature readings. **Hint**: Think about how different substances expand when heated and how this can affect measurement. 4. **Connecting the Statements**: - Since water's thermal expansion is non-uniform, it can lead to unreliable readings in a thermometer. This supports the idea that water is unsuitable for use in thermometers. **Hint**: Reflect on how the properties of a liquid influence its effectiveness in a measuring device. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are true, and Statement 2 provides a correct explanation for Statement 1. Therefore, the answer is that both statements are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1. **Final Answer**: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
