Thats right! 2 / 10 How do you calibrate a thermometer using the Ice-Point Method? Mix a large container half-full of crushed ice and water Adjust the calibration nut to 32°F while measuring the temperature of ice-water Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 3 / 10 When using the boiling-point method to calibrate a thermometer, what should the reading be adjusted to while measuring the temperature of boiling water? 212°F (depending on your elevation) 32°F (regardless of your elevation) Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 4 / 10 How can a bimetallic-stemmed thermometer be calibrated? Turn the calibration nut until the correct temperature is indicated Put its stem in ice water and adjust to the freezing temperature Put its stem in boiling water and adjust to the boiling temperature All are correct Wrong! Thats right! The freezing temperature of water is 32°F. The boiling temperature of water is between 200°F and 212°F depending on your elevation. 5 / 10 What should you do when a thermometer loses its accuracy?
