Water is not a good thermometric liquid because it?

A.

expands unevenly between 0 ºC and 4 ºC

B.

maintains fixed density

C.

has low freezing point

D.

wets glass

Correct answer is D

Water is most anomalous at low temperatures, with a remarkable density maximum at 4°C.

water is not used as a thermometric liquid because it has low thermal expansivity, high specific capacity, high vapor pressure and wets glass.
