Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of mercury thermometer is - 37°C to 356°C . At temperature below - 37°C , mercury starts converting into solid so this thermometer becomes non- functional . Hence to measure temperature of - 50°C , alcohol thermometer is suitable . The range of alcohol thermometer is - 112° C to 78°C .
