Question

Ions like benzyl·pyridinium are named for these devices because they always fragment the same way in ESI mass spec. These devices’ two-point calibration scale was invented by astronomer Ole Rømer (“OHL-uh RUM-er”). A type of these devices measures the e·m·f from two alloys spliced at a Seebeck junction. Essentially, the Zeroth Law allows these devices (20[1])to exist. In psych·rometry, these devices are wrapped in a damp cloth (20[1])to provide (20[1])(*) “wet bulb” measurements. (10[2])These devices (10[1])are poked through a Styrofoam lid (10[2])and provide (10[1])experimental (10[1])data (10[1])from a coffee (10[1])cup calorimeter. (10[4])For safety, red-dyed (10[1])ethanol is used (10[1])today in these devices (10[1])instead of liquid (10[2])mercury. (10[1])For 10 points, Daniel Fahrenheit invented what type of device (10[1])that measures temperature? (10[4])■END■ (10[8])

ANSWER: thermometers [or thermosensors; accept thermocouples; accept mercury thermometer or alcohol thermometer; accept temperature sensors until the end of the tossup, and prompt afterwards]
