Which apparatus would you choose to measure 200 ml of liquid?

You can use a graduated cylinder or a beaker to measure 200 ml of liquid accurately. Make sure to check the meniscus at eye level for precise measurement.


How can i determine a liquid's density?

To determine a liquid's density, you need to measure its mass and volume. You can measure the liquid's mass using a balance, and its volume using a graduated cylinder or other measuring devices. Divide the mass of the liquid by its volume to calculate the density.


What measures exactly 43mL of an acid?

You would need to use a graduated cylinder or a syringe with mL markings to measure out 43mL of the acid. Be sure to read the measurement at eye level for accuracy.


How would you find the density of 10 grams of granular sodium chloride?

To find the density of a substance you need the mass as well as the volume. The mass is 10 grams so all you need to do is find the volume. It is easiest to do this using displacement of water in a graduated cylinder. I would take a 100 mL graduated cylinder and fill it up with water to.. lets say.. 50 mL. Furthermore, very slowly add the granular salt to the graduated cylinder using a funnel, being sure not to spill any. Now read how much is in the graduated cylinder. Second value - first value = volume of salt. Divide 10 grams by the volume. Answer would be in ___grams/mL^3


Why not fill a graduated cylinder to the top?

It is due to surface tension. Which is the "fight" between the forces of the solid (graduated cylinder) and the surrounding gas (air). On the liquid in the cylinder. This fight can be positive, negative or zero. Water on glass, is negative. As in the water level is higher along the edges than it is in the center. Whereas mercury on glass is positive. The center is the highest point. A zero example is rare as in silver and water.

Which of these would be best to measure 12.6 mL of liquid ethanol?

You need a simple (class A or B) graduated pipet.


Is a graduated cylinder more accurate than a beaker?

As a chemist I can tell you that there are a significant purpose differences between the two, though sometime masked in high school chemistry. In college you learn that the graduated cylinder are more specifically designed to measure volume of a liquid. The test tube is glass which is safer to do most chemical reactions in - meaning the test tube is not generally used for measurement but rather a container for liquids.


What is uses of graduated beaker?

Both beakers and graduated cylinders have volume markings. But, the markings on a graduated cylinder are much more precise than those on a beaker. Along with burettes , they are handy to measure volumes of liquids. Glassware and Nalgene are also relatively easy to clean as is needed for chemical experiments.


What is the function of graduated beaker?

It allows you to fill it to a specified volume, which you can then use in your experiment. You can add a solute to it so that it will be at a specified concentration. That's only if the measurements are not critical. If the volume measurement is critical, you need to use a graduated cylinder. Also, you can use it to hold water to make a hot water bath for heating a substance in a test tube.


Why do you first need to measure the mass of the graduated cylinder when it is empty?

Measuring the mass of the graduated cylinder when it is empty allows you to determine the tare weight of the cylinder. This tare weight can then be subtracted from the total weight when the cylinder is filled with a substance to accurately measure the mass of just the substance.


In measuring volume of liquid why is there a need to remove traces of grease in the graduated cylinder?

Grease prevents water contact with the glass cylinder.


Which tool would you need to most accurately measure 10 mL of water?

A graduated cylinder


Why you use graduated cylinder to measure 55 ml?

A graduated cylinder is used to precisely measure volumes of liquid. By pouring the liquid carefully into the graduated cylinder and reading the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus (liquid curve), you can accurately measure 55 ml of liquid.


What is the volume of water in the graduated cylinder?

To determine the volume of water in a graduated cylinder, you need to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the water. Ensure your eye is level with the meniscus to avoid parallax error. The volume is typically measured in milliliters (mL) or liters (L) and can be read directly from the scale on the cylinder. If you provide the specific measurement shown in the graduated cylinder, I can help you interpret it.


When finding the density of a liquid why must you first find the mass of a graduated cylinder alone?

If you are going to weigh a liquid in a graduated cylinder, the weight that you will get when you place the cylinder on the scale will be the combined weight of the cylinder and its contents. To find the weight of the contents alone, you therefore have to subtract the weight of the empty cylinder. And to calculate density you need to know both the weight and the volume.
