What tool would you use to measure out 50 mL of water?
Depending on how accurate you want to be you can use a variety of methods. Common methods include the following (with increasing level of accuracy) 1) graduated cylinder 2) volumetric pipette. 3) Calibrated micro-pipette (may require more than one transfer)
Would it be more accurate to measure the amount of water that a container can hold by using one measurement with a large graduated cylinder or two measurements with a smaller graduated cylinder?
If you measure properly, the amount of water does not change. Measurement with whatever graduated cylinder you choose will not alter the amount of liquid measured. Most people choose to measure once with a larger one, but if the amount of liquid falls between the measurement lines, you can measure the "leftover" with a smaller cylinder and find the exact answer.
What is the accurate apparatus to measure volume of water?
Depending upon the amount of substance you are using and what it is, you could use a graduated cylinder, Erlenmeyer flask, or a beaker.
What is the best way to measure the volume of an irregular shaped solid?
You can read the measurements wrongly depending on the type of liquid used to measure the volume for irregularly shaped objects. You should determine whether the liquid used forms an upper or lower meniscus. For regularly shaped objects, errors occur when you read the units are rounded off.
How do you find the volume of an irregular object by using the graduate cylinder?
Step 1) Fill the graduated cylinder with water to a specific volume (example: 50ml).Step 2) Drop the irregular shaped object into the graduated cylinder.Step 3) Measure the new level of the water in the graduated cylinder.Step 4) The difference in volumes in the graduated cylinder equals the volume of the irregular objectexample:original volume of water in cylinder = 50mlvolume of water in cylinder with irregular object = 55ml55ml - 50ml = volume of irregular object in the water = 5ml
What would you use to measure using a graduated cylinder?
You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.
Can you measure worms by using a graduated cylinder?
it depends... why would you use a graduated cylinder?
What are the advantages of using a graduated cylinder than a ruler?
well with a graduated cylinder you can measure liquid
How a cylinder is used in science?
Well, that depends on what cylinder you are using. For example, a graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid, the measure of a solid by displacement, or for measuring quantities of volumes to be added into a mixture or chemical reaction.
What is a sentence with graduated cylinder?
During the chemistry experiment we had to measure the quantity of the liquids careful by using a graduated cylinder.
What would you measure using a graduated cylinder?
The volume of a liquid.
How would you measure 20 milliliters using a graduated cylinder?
In your large graduated cylinder, measure 20 ml of water from a beaker It might take some minutes to do it.
What measurement tool do you use to measure volume?
For mass, you would use a triple-beam balance. For volume, you would either use a graduated cylinder (for liquids), calculate the displacement with a graduated cylinder (for an odd-shaped solid), or calculate it using the equation for volume (for a regularly-shaped solid).
What type of matter You want to measure it using a graduated cylinder?
Graduated measuring cylinders are generally used for measuring liquids.
When using a graduated cylinder always measure the low spot of the water This is called the?
meniscus
Calculate the density of water using a graduated cylinder?
not quite. you can measure volume in a graduated cylinder. you can use a scale, water, and a graduated cylinder to find out the density of an object by filling the graduated cylinder to an easily calculated point (250) then dropping your object in the water making sure none splashes out then measure the difference, then weigh it and divide the mass by volume to get density.
A way of determining the volume of a solid using water and a graduated cylinder?
This is a poor question. There is no way such a method can measure the volume of a sugar cube, for example, because it will dissolve in the water.
