What is the name of the curve You See at the of a liquid in a cylinder?
The name of the curve is the "meniscus".
What is the name of the curve you see at the top of the liquid in a cylinder?
Meniscus
What is the name of the curve you see at the top of a graduated cylinder?
the meniscus
What is the curve that you see at the liquid's surface?
The meniscus is the curve at the liquid's surface. It is produced in response to the surface of the container or another object.
What is use of graduated cylinder?
A graduated cylinder is used for measuring the Volume of different things such as irregular objects. It uses the unit ml. It has a miniskus FYI that is when you use water and if you look closely you can see it curve at the top. You measure the miniskus a the bottom of the Curve. Also to find the Volume of an irregular object you first measure the water (starting volume) then place the Object in it and you will have your ending volume. then subtrct the difference from the starting volume and the ending and you will have your volume in ml.
What is the scientific name for the curved water surface above the rim of a glass?
The curve you see on top of a liquid in a cylinder is called the meniscus and is due to the difference between the attractive force between the liquid molecules themselves and between the liquid molecules and the wall of the cylinder, as well as capillary action. When the molecules of the liquid have a greater attraction to the cylinder wall than to themselves, the meniscus is concave and the surface of the liquid curved downwards. Water drawn up a narrow glass cylinder has a concave meniscus. When the molecules of the liquid have a greater attraction to themselves than to the cylinder wall, the meniscus is convex and curves upwards. Mercury in a glass thermometer or barometer has a convex meniscus.
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.
How do you use measuring cylinder?
A graduated cylinder is used to measure liquid volume in milliliters, mL. When you place a liquid into a glass graduated cylinder, you will see that the "line" at the top of the column of liquid is actually curved downward. This is called the meniscus. When you measure the liquid volume, you record the volume in mL at the bottom of the meniscus.
What would be used to see how the volume of a certain liquid changes after undergoing a chemical reaction?
graduated cylinder
What is the instrument or tool used in measuring the volume of liquid?
The special construction is that it has measurements on the side which you can see the liquid transparently ...
What is the name of the curvature we see in the water of a graduated cylinder?
meniscus
Is a balance used to measure the volume of a liquid?
no, a balance is used to measure the mass of an object. to find the volume of a liquid, you would put it in a graduated cylinder and see the number it goes up to.
