Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Electrical analyzers operate on the principle of thermal conductivity and use an electronic device called a Wheatstone bridge. The Clark electrode is used by the polarographic analyzer. Pauling's principle is used in paramagnetic analyzers, and electrical analyzers use thermal conductivity to analyze oxygen concentration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The Wheatstone bridge contains two parallel wires that receive current flow from an external power source, usually a battery. One of these wires, which serves as the reference, is exposed to room air. The other wire is located in the sample chamber and is exposed to the gas being ana-lyzed. If the sample gas contains a higher oxygen-to-nitrogen ratio than is present in room air, the sample wire cools and its resistance decreases, because oxygen is a better conductor of heat than nitrogen.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
