Ella Walsh · Answer 1

The alcohol thermometer works in a similar way as the mercury in glass thermometer. as such they perform almost the same functions.

Fixing a broken thermometer is the same approach irrespective of alcohol or mercury in glass. as such, the best way is to immense the thermometer bulb in dry ice or alcohol and allow it to settled down. thereafter the thermometer can be removed in an upright manner to avoid another spill or slipping.

The closest and the correct option is to Fill the 50mL flask with 30 mL of water and ice and try to cool it down.
