   stirring rods are cheaper and safer to stir with because that’s what they were made for. It’s probably a safety issue more than anything.

   because it could break and then if your using a mercury thermometer that could be bad

   We use a stirring rod instead of the thermometer because there would be a considerable amount of heat transfer from the tip of the thermometer to the mixture which could put errors in the result.

   Also, this is done so that the final temperature of the ice mixture could be achieved first before the reading would be done so that there would be stability and constance in the reading.

   you might know me….kerry…?

   well if you do go to thhs, then thankyou because i always see that youre putting up questions from our chem lab.

   and i always find this helpful.

   my answer:
   1. maybe if the heat/cold has some kind of reaction it could break the glass
   2. STIRRING rod is made for STIRRING and thermometer is for measuring temperature akaaaaaa…you should use the equipment properly by using them only for the purpose they were made for.

   but dont take that wording. im using it lol
