The question asked, what is the maximum reading on a STANDARD laboratory thermometer.
Now if you would look at a standard laboratory thermometer, the maximum reading is 110 Degrees Celsius. This is because these thermometers are quite often used to measure boiling points of water. The boiling point of water increases due to impurities, an experiment which is often performed. So 100-110 is included for this experiment mostly. You can inspect any past paper questions, you will see thermometers with 110 degrees celsius as the maximum reading.
Or just inspect a thermometer in your school lab
Though 100 may also be accepted, I'm not sure.

YES 110 IS THE CORRECT ANSWER
ITS RANGE IS FROM -10 T 110

well.....100 and 110 both should b correct they both r found in a standard lab thermometer
about the tick boxes...pouring the oil quickly is correct...as 4 the use of a wider range of readings is incorrect...
a wider range doesnt make the graph more accurate...graphs r made accurate by shortening the intervals btw each reading.....the second option was by using a more sensitive thermometer as it will give us a more accurate measurement of temp.

larger range is absolutely correct

the Question u r talking about showes a cooling curve between the temp. 90C - 20C....the marking scheme states a large number of readings to b taken....as there is a fixed rangs given so a large number of readings means decreasing the intervals btw each reading.......this was not the case with the recent qs....the ans option, a LARGER RANGE in the recent qs is wrong as it doesnt decrease the number of intervals btw each reading....

it was take large number of readings and this is correct
and sensitivity has got nthng to do with accuracy if there is a temperature with range 120 degrees and sensitivity is increased do u think it will be of the same size as an ordinary laboratory thermometer

it was not a large number of readings....it was A LONGER RANGE.....n u know it...admit ok....it was just 1 mark........
