14. Alasan pemberian warna saat alkohol digunakan sebagai cairan termometrik dalam sebuah termome ter adalah __ a. alkohol akan membas ahi dinding termometer jika tidak diberi warna b. alkohol meningkatka n kepekaan termometer C. alkohol meningkatk an linearitas (kelinears an) termometer d. alkohol tidak berwarna sehingga sulit diamati ol don

The correct answer is **(d) alkohol tidak berwarna sehingga sulit diamati**. Here's why:* **Alcohol is colorless:** This makes it difficult to see the level of the liquid in the thermometer, especially against a clear glass tube. Adding a dye makes the alcohol visible and easier to read.Let's look at why the other options are incorrect:* **(a) alkohol akan membas ahi dinding termometer jika tidak diberi warna:** This is incorrect. The color of the alcohol does not affect its ability to burn or damage the thermometer.* **(b) alkohol meningkatka n kepekaan termometer:** The color of the alcohol does not affect the sensitivity of the thermometer. Sensitivity is determined by the properties of the alcohol itself and the design of the thermometer.* **(c) alkohol meningkatk an linearitas (kelinears an) termometer:** The color of the alcohol does not affect the linearity of the thermometer. Linearity is determined by the expansion and contraction properties of the alcohol and the design of the thermometer. **In summary:** The primary reason for adding color to alcohol in thermometers is to make it easier to read the temperature.
