    1. Mercury is used in thermometers instead of dyed water because it is non-toxic, has a high boiling point, and expands uniformly with temperature changes. 2. The fixed points on the Celsius scale are 0°C for the freezing point of water and 100°C for the boiling point of water. Absolute zero on the Celsius scale is -273°C. 3. A clinical thermometer measures body temperature and is not suitable for laboratory use because it breaks at high temperatures. A thermocouple thermometer can measure a wider range of temperatures but is more expensive and complex.
