What is a graduated cylinder used for in science?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

A graduated cylinder is used to accurately measure the volume of a liquid. Always read to the bottom of the meniscus to obtain an accurate measurement.
