What meniscus is being read if you measuring the volume of dark colored liquids?

1.read the bottom of the curve 2. you must read the meniscus at eye level


Why should you measure a liquid at the bottom of the meniscus?

The liquid molecules are more strongly attracted to the graduated cylinder than to each other. This causes the liquid to rise up on the sides of the graduated cylinder. Therefore it is important to read the line, even with the center of the meniscus, and at the bottom of the meniscus to accurately measure the volume of a liquid in the graduated cylinder. If you are still a bit confused I also found some information at this website: http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistrylabexperiments/qt/meniscus.htm


When reading the volume of fluid in a graduated cylinder the eye should be?

at the bottom of the curve there are two miniscus(curves) in all liquids present in cylinders.when a coloress liquid is present then we see the lower miniscus but when we see colored fluid we see the upper miniscus.


What is meniscus level?

When a liquid is held in a vessel, the water adheres to the side of the vessel. So when the amount of liquid held by the vessel is less than the full amount the vessel will hold, the liquid level rises where it touches the vessel. It "sticks" to the side of the vessel hard enough to be above the top of the liquid. This is called a negative meniscus. When the level of the liquid is higher than the top of the vessel (but doesn't overflow the top due to the surface tension of the liquid), then there is a positive meniscus.

Convex and concave or else they are also known as the upper meniscus and the lower meniscus


Why do we use the lower meniscus to read the clear liquid and upper meniscus to read the colored liquid?

If the colored liquid is opaque (you can't see through it) you can't see the bottom of the meniscus. If the liquid is like mercury, you can't see through it but it doesn't make any difference because the meniscus is reverse from that of water. You read the top.

Law of lower and upper meniscus levels in determining liquid solution?

In measuring liquids using graduated cylinder, there are two things to consider. 1.) CLEAR LIQUID and 2.) COLORED LIQUID (as we may say) In identifying the volume of CLEAR LIQUID (e.g. plain water, oil, alcohol, etc.), THE LOWER MENISCUS is read. For the COLORED LIQUID (e.g. soy sauce, ketchup, etc. ) the upper meniscus is get, since there is only one meniscus there.. (meaning there is no upper & lower meniscus.)
