Place the cylinder on a flat surface. Read the volume contained in a graduated cylinder or volumetric flask, by comparing the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid),at eye level, to the nearest graduation or ring.
Well obviously it depends on the graduations. If it is graduated in volume, ie cubic inches, fluid ounces, or cc or ml, you just read straight across. Make sure your eye level is level with the top surface of the liquid, and read at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved top surface of the liquid)
to measure with a graduated cylinder you put water in the tube (90ml)then you put or place the object in the tube then you write down the total (98ml)the you subtract the amount that you put in and the amount that you had with the object and then you get the total
First, pour the liquid that you wish to measure into the graduated cylinder. Then, read the markings on the cylinder, at the top of the fluid column. That tells you the volume (usually in milliliters).
sit the cylinder down on a flat surface and crouch down to get eye level with it
Always read from the bottom of the meniscus (where the liquid reaches up the side of the container).
You should look at the meniscus.
You pour liquid into it.
Fill the graduated cylinder with water, and measure the volume. Now put the item in, measure the water's volume again, and take the difference
A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory glassware used to accurately measure out volumes of chemicals for use in reactions. They are generally more accurate and precise for this purpose than beakers or erlenmeyer flasks, although not as precise as a volumetric flask or volumetric pipet. They come in a variety of sizes for different volumes, typically 10 mL, 25 mL, 50 mL, or 100 mL and up to as large as 1 or 2 liters.Determine the volume contained in a graduated cylinder by reading the bottom of the meniscus at eye level.In other words, holding the graduated cylinder at eye level, the bottom of the curved surface of the liquid (called the meniscus) is where you read off the mark on the graduated cylinder to determine the volume properly.
Depending upon the amount of substance you are using and what it is, you could use a graduated cylinder, Erlenmeyer flask, or a beaker.
There are three ways to measure volume. If you are measuring a liquid, you need a graduated cyliner. If you are measuring the volume of a regular solid, you need a ruler to measure length, width, and height. You would then use the formula V=LxWxH. The third way to measure volume is to use displacement to find the volume of an irregular solid. You would put a certain amount of water in a graduated cylinder, write the starting amount down. Add the irregular solid to the graduated cylinder. Record the ending amount of liquid and subtract the ending amount minus the starting amount.
Step 1 . calculate the volume of the cylinder step 2 . put the rock in the cylinder and fill it with water to the top step 3. measure the amount of water step 4 subtract the volume of the water from the volume of the cylinder, and you have the volume of the rock.
A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume, or capacity of water. Or to just measure Water.
Liquid volume.
Yes you can
graduated cylinder
Liquid volume.
A graduated cylinder
It's a tube used to measure exact amounts of liquid, usually for science.
Fill the graduated cylinder with water, and measure the volume. Now put the item in, measure the water's volume again, and take the difference
well with a graduated cylinder you can measure liquid
The answer depends on the cylinder.
Graduated cylinder.
To measure the volume of liquids.
