Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The change in mass of a solid is not a temperature-sensitive property as it can be affected by factors other than temperature such as pressure or chemical reactions. The other options, change in volume of a liquid, change in length of a metal rod, change in electrical resistance of a wire, and change in pressure of a gas at constant volume, are all commonly used as temperature sensitive properties in thermometers.
