The meniscus is the curve at the liquid's surface. It is produced in response to the surface of the container or another object.

Is the curve at a liquids surface by which you measure the volume of a liquid?

The meniscus is the curve at a liquid's surface by which one measures the volume of the liquid. A meniscus can be concave or convex depending on whether it is attracted to itself or the glass.


Could you see the curve of Pluto if you stood on it?

No, you wouldn't be able to see the curve of Pluto from its surface. Pluto's gravity is much weaker than Earth's, so the surface would appear relatively flat to an observer standing on it.


How do you read meniscus on a graduated cylinder?

All liquids have a surface tension. This tension creates a meniscus or curve on the surface, most noticeable in small diameter tubes or cylinders. The meniscus of water curves up the sides of the cylinder, while heavy liquids like mercury curves down the cylinder. You should always measure light liquids at the bottom of the meniscus and heavy liquids at the top of the meniscus.


what is the pull on the surface of liquids that allows liquids to form drop when they fall?

It is surface tension.


The pull on the surface of liquids that allow liquids to form drops when they fall are called?

The pull on the surface of liquids that allow liquids to form drops when they fall are called surface tension. This property is due to the cohesive forces between liquid molecules at the surface.

What is the curve along the top of a liquids surface?

Meniscus.


The pull on the surface of the liquids that allow liquids to form drops when they fall?

It is surface tension.


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

When reading the volume of fluid in a graduated cylinder, the eye should be at the same level as the meniscus (the curve at the surface of the liquid). This helps to avoid parallax error and ensures an accurate reading of the volume.

What is the difference between liquids with high surface tension and liquids with low surface tension?

Liquids with high surface tension have stronger forces between their molecules at the surface, causing them to form droplets and resist spreading. Liquids with low surface tension have weaker forces, allowing them to spread out more easily and wet surfaces.
