What measurement of a liquid can you make with a graduated cylinder?
A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid and are generally more accurate and precise than laboratory flasks and beakers.
How is Ceres' surface different from Earth's?
Ceres has no atmosphere, no liquid water, and no life on its surface. Instead it is heavily cratered from impacts.
Does earth have liquid water on its surface?
Earth is the main planet with liquid water. There are some studies which say that Neptune and Uranus also contain water, deep inside them. However, only the Earth has liquid surface water.
What makes some liquids have a greater surface tension than others?
The surface tension is primarily due to the arrangement of electrons of the molecules that comprise the liquid.
What rocks originate from the surface of the earth?
Sedimentary rocks form on the Earth's crust, and can form metamorphic rocks when buried. Igneous rocks form under the surface, or when liquid magma reaches the surface as lava.
What is the curved surface of a liquid in a graduated cylinder?
Meniscus.
What is the crescent shaped surface of liquid that form in pipettes and graduated cylinder?
The crescent shaped surface of liquid that forms in pipettes and graduated cylinders is called a meniscus.
A graduated cylinder used to find what of a liquid?
A graduated cylinder is used to find the VOLUME of a liquid.
What is a graduated cylinder measured in?
measured with a graduated cylinder
Do you measure volume to the top or bottom of the muniscus?
The meniscus is a curve in the surface of a liquid that is caused by surface tension and by the attraction between the liquid and the sides of the container. The bottom of the meniscus represents the most accurate measurement because the lines of a graduated cylinder are in the middle of the graduated cylinder.
Where is the least dense liquid found in a graduated cylinder?
The least dense liquid is found at the bottom of the graduated cylinder, because the less dense it is, the farther it will go down in th graduated cylinder.
Is a graduated cylinder used for?
A graduated cylinder is a usually glass (but some are plastic) quantitative piece of laboratory equipment. Graduated cylinders are used for accurate liquid measurement. To read a graduated cylinder correctly, the volume of liquid contained is measured at the bottom of the meniscus, which is at the top of the liquid, in the exact center of the cylinder, and not at the side where the liquid touches the glass (or plastic).A graduated cylinder, measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquidit is used for the precise measurements of liquids.To measure volume of liquids.Pour liquid in the graduated cylinder then find the lower meniscus (lower meniscus's lower curve of liquid's surface) read the volume off the graduations.Measurement of liquids OR a container used to find the volume of an object in Liters.
Function of graduated cylinder?
To measure the amount of liquid in a specific manner
What is the use of graduated cylinder in laboratory?
the use of graduated cylinder is for measuring liquid objects
The curved surface at the top of a liquid in a graduated cylinder is called?
"Still That Girl" by: Britt Nicole
When reading a graduated cylinder you look at?
When you read a scale on the side of a container with a meniscus, such as a graduated cylinder or volumetric flask, it's important that the measurement accounts for the ... For mercury, take the measurement from the top of the meniscus. ...
What tool would I use to measure liquid during an experiment?
Liquid is often measured in a tall glass cylinder that has a graduated scale etched on its surface.
