Theoretically a graduated cylinder...but if the only graduate I've got holds five liters with graduations 100 ml apart and I'm trying to measure to the milliliter, the pipette would be more accurate.

∙ 16y agoa pipette is only use full for taking a single measurement but is highly accurate. a buerett can be used for many different measurements but less accurately.

What is the function of volumetric pipette?
The purpose of a volumetric pipette is to deliver a precise amount of a liquid. The label on the pipette indicates the volume delivered (e.g. 10.00 mL).
What is used to measure a small quantity of liquid most accurate reading?
A pipette is good for liquid amounts that are less than 10 mL. Anything bigger, you should use a graduated cylinder
Name of a glassware used to measure volume of a liquid exactly 65ml?
To measure a volume of liquid, laboratory instruments known as glassware are used. The commonly used glassware are burettes, pipettes, volumetric flasks and graduated cylinders.
Which tool will be the best tool to measure 20 millimeters of water?
Measuring Milliliters of water (volume) could be readily done using a graduated cylinder, pipette, syringe. A measurement of milimeters of water is essentially meaningless as how much water it would take to reach a given "length" would depend on the size of the vessel holding it.
Which materials would the student most likely have used in this investigation?
microscope, pipette, and slides with coverslips
What is a Mohr Pipette used for in chemistry?
A Mohr pipette is a type of pipette that measures the volume of dispensed liquids. It is less accurate compared to a volumetric pipette.
Why is a volumetric pipette used for measuring out the hydroxylamine?
To get a very accurate volume of hydroxylamine.
When measuring a small quanity of liquid which instrument would permit the most accurate reading?
Volumetric pipette.
What glassware provides the most accurate volume?
The glassware that provides the most accurate measurement of volume is the measuring cup. A glass measuring cup has lines on it to give an accurate reading.
Why is a volumetric pipette more accurate than a graduated pipette?
Graduated pipettes are not as accurate as volumetric pipettes, because each graduation line is not individually calibrated, and any imperfection in the internal diameter will have a greater effect on the volume delivered. In volumetric pipettes, the diameter of the pipette where the graduation mark is located is significantly smaller because the majority of its volume is located in the bulb.
What is used of volumetric pipette?
The purpose of a volumetric pipette is to deliver a precise amount of a liquid. The label on the pipette indicates the volume delivered (e.g. 10.00 mL).
What is the function of volumetric pipette?
The purpose of a volumetric pipette is to deliver a precise amount of a liquid. The label on the pipette indicates the volume delivered (e.g. 10.00 mL).
What is the difference between volumetric pipette and micro pipette?
Pipettes are used to transport liquids. Graduated pipettes are marks similarly to graduated cylinders, indicating different calibrated volumes. Volumetric pipettes only mark a single volume of measurement, and as such require different pipettes for different quantities.
Could a 25 ml volumetric flask be replaced by a 25 ml pipette to measure the solution poured into a conical flask for titration?
As the pipette is far more accurate than a flask by a factor 10 to 100 one should NOT use a volumetric flask except for standard volumes over 100 ml.
How do you transfer any remaining solute into a volumetric flask?
by using a pipette and a suction bulb
What is the total volume can you pipette?
Depends on the size of your pipette. Some are volumetric and tell you the amount of fluid. Others are simply for dropping small amounts of liquid.
What is better to use in measuring smaller volumes of liquids the graduated cylinder or the pipette?
The pipette, as it can be used to dispense microliters [liters * 10 to the power of -6] .
