When measuring out a liquid in a graduate th upper surface of the liquid is called?
The upper surface of the liquid in a graduated cylinder is called the meniscus. It appears curved due to surface tension, and the measurement should be read at the bottom of the meniscus for an accurate volume reading.
What word is used for the curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube?
It is called a MENISCUS caused by capillary action betweem the molecules of the liquid and the molecules of the container, and resulting from surface tension within the liquid. In addition: Adhesion: Making one material adhere to another.
What is the free surface of liquids?
The free surface of a liquid is the upper boundary of the liquid where it meets the air or another medium. It is the surface that is not confined by a container and is therefore free to move and change shape in response to external forces, such as gravity.
What is the chemical definition of meniscus?
It is from the Greek meaning crescent. When you measure the volume of water (or similar liquid) in a measuring cylinder, if you look carefully you will notice the surface water level is not perfectly flat. It will be curved, this is called the meniscus. To accurately measure the volume you must look at the meniscus at eye level and take the reading at the bottom of the meniscus. The meniscus occurs because water is attracted to the glass/plastic. All equipment that is intended to measure volume will take into account the meniscus, as long as you take your reading with the meniscus at eye level. The measurement must be done at eye level in order to ensure no parallax error. NOTE mercury's meniscus is convex rather than concave, as it is not attracted the glass/plastic.
What is the upper surface of saturated aquifer called?
The top level of groundwater in an aquifer is called the water table.

I think you mean the meniscus
What the curved upper surface of a liquid in a column of liquid?
I think you mean the meniscus
What is called when measuring a liquid in a container and you have a parabola at the top of liquid in the container?
The curved surface at the top of a liquid in a container is called the meniscus. When measuring a liquid in a container, it's important to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus to ensure an accurate reading.
What is the name given to the curved upper surface of a liquid?
Meniscus
What is the upper surface of a liquid called?
A meniscus.
What word is used for the curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube?
It is called a MENISCUS caused by capillary action betweem the molecules of the liquid and the molecules of the container, and resulting from surface tension within the liquid. In addition: Adhesion: Making one material adhere to another.
What does the word menicus?
It seems like "menicus" might be a misspelling. Did you mean "meniscus," which is the curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube?
What do you call the curved upper surface of water that commonly appears when using graduated cylinders?
This is called meniscus.
How do you used gra duated cylinder?
To use a graduated cylinder, place it on a flat surface and pour the liquid you want to measure into it. Make sure to read the measurement at eye level from the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved upper surface of the liquid. Be cautious with handling to prevent spills and inaccuracies in measurement.
What is the free surface of liquids?
The free surface of a liquid is the upper boundary of the liquid where it meets the air or another medium. It is the surface that is not confined by a container and is therefore free to move and change shape in response to external forces, such as gravity.
What is the upper surface of water called?
The upper surface of water is called the water's surface or water level. It is the boundary where the water meets the air above it.
