Which state of matter expands the most for the same rise in temperature?

• 1 Liquids
• 2 All expand equally
• 3 Solids
• 4 Gases

The heat absorbed when a liquid changes to gas at constant temperature is called:

• 1 Latent heat of vaporisation
• 2 Latent heat of fusion
• 3 Specific heat
• 4 Sensible heat

Which thermometer is used to measure body temperature?
