What tool would you use to measure out 50 mL of water?
Depending on how accurate you want to be you can use a variety of methods. Common methods include the following (with increasing level of accuracy) 1) graduated cylinder 2) volumetric pipette. 3) Calibrated micro-pipette (may require more than one transfer)
What is the unit of measure of a Graduated cylinder?
Graduated cylinders measure volumes in milliliters usually, and most are guaranteed by manufacturers to be accurate to within ± 1 mL. these are same as c.c. that's cubic centimeter
What is a graduated cylinder used for in science?
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.
Would it be more accurate to measure the amount of water that a container can hold by using one measurement with a large graduated cylinder or two measurements with a smaller graduated cylinder?
If you measure properly, the amount of water does not change. Measurement with whatever graduated cylinder you choose will not alter the amount of liquid measured. Most people choose to measure once with a larger one, but if the amount of liquid falls between the measurement lines, you can measure the "leftover" with a smaller cylinder and find the exact answer.
What is the accurate apparatus to measure volume of water?
Depending upon the amount of substance you are using and what it is, you could use a graduated cylinder, Erlenmeyer flask, or a beaker.
What instrament is used to measure liquid?
the most accurate would be a graduated cylinder but there are beakers and other things that aren't as accurate
What can you use other then a graduated cylinder or a displacement to measure volume?
Technically, for a liquid, one could use Erlenmeyer flasks or beakers to measure volume; however, it will not be as accurate as a graduated cylinder. A buret can also be used to measure the volume of a liquid if more accurate results are needed.
What would you use to measure using a graduated cylinder?
You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.
What are graduated cylinder and how are they used?
a graduated cylinder is a piece of lab glassware used to hold liquids. 'graduated' means it has a scale of measurement (usually in mLs) to measure liquids. make sure to always measure at the bottom of the miniscus for accurate data.

What does a gradulated cylinder do?
The graduated cylinder is used to measure liquid volume. These cylinders are said to be more precise and accurate over beakers and flasks.
What tool measures a graduated cylinder?
Graduated cylinder is a tool to measure volumes.
What are beakers used for in science?
to contain liquids, to pour liquids, and to measure volume (although it is not as accurate as a graduated cylinder)
Which type of glassware would accurately measure accurately 65ml?
A grade A burette (more accurate) or a graduated cylinder.
What are the advantages of using a graduated cylinder than a ruler?
well with a graduated cylinder you can measure liquid
How do you measure the mass of a solid with a graduated cylinder without the density?
You cannot measure the mass of a solid with a graduated cylinder.
What is a graduated cylinder for in science?
A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume, or capacity of water. Or to just measure Water.
