The step which is false related to the calibration of a metal stem probe thermometer is adjusting the pointer on the temperature indicator to read 32 F (0 C).

What is a Thermometer?

A thermometer may be defined as an apparatus operated for estimating the temperature (degree of hotness or coldness) of a body or any substance.

It is a delicate glass holding a bulb on one of its ends and normally contains either exaggerated alcohol or mercury.

There is no need of adjusting the temperature to 0°C while calibrating it because it already measures the temperature of a particular body or substance.

The complete question is as follows:

  • insert the probe of the thermometer into a container of packed crushed ice and cold water
  • wait until the temperature indicator stops moving (after 30 seconds).
  • remove the probe from ice water
  • adjust the pointer on the temperature indicator to read 32 F (0 C)

Therefore, the correct option is D.
