Why can you not use a graduated cylinder that is more than ten times the volume being measured?

It's not the case that you CANNOT use it. The problem is just that you may lose a lot of ACCURACY, so it is BEST not to use it if you want or need very accurate results.

Three examples of laboratory ware used for measuring volume?
If you know the density of the liquid, scales could be used to determine the mass and then plugged into the equation:- volume = mass/density A measuring cylinder could also be used. Stuck on the third one though...I guess you could use a burette, but generally they're only used for titrations.
Whats the ratio of 54cm area and 27cm volume?
It is not possible to answer the question because it is not possible t have an are of 54 cm nor a volume of 27 cm. The measurement units are not consistent with the characteristic being measured.
What is greater grams or milliliter?
There is no definitive answer to this question. Gram is a measure of weight and milliliter is a measure of volume. How much a milliliter weighs or how much volume a gram will have depends upon the specific gravity of the material being measured.
How many US quarters would it take to fill a cylinder with a volume of 169.56 cubic inches?
The radius of a U.S. quarter is about 0.478 inches. The thickness of a U.S. quarter is about 0.069 inches. Being cylindrical, the volume of the quarter will be πr2h: v = πr2h ∴ v ≈ 3.142 × (0.478")2 × 0.069" ∴ v ≈ 0.488 cubic inches. All you need to do then is divide volume of the cylinder by the volume of the quarter: 169.56 / 0.488 ≈ 345.41 So it would take about 346 US quarters to fill such a cylinder.
How do you convert litres to stone?
Litres is a measure of volume Stone is a measure of weight You can not convert between the two units without knowing the density of the substance being measured.
Limitations of measuring with graduated cylinder?
That method only works if the substance being measured is in liquid form. Also, the only property of the substance that can be measured is its volume ... the graduated cylinder cannot measure its mass, temperature, cost, density, etc.
How would you find the density of 10 grams of granular sodium chloride?
To find the density of a substance you need the mass as well as the volume. The mass is 10 grams so all you need to do is find the volume. It is easiest to do this using displacement of water in a graduated cylinder. I would take a 100 mL graduated cylinder and fill it up with water to.. lets say.. 50 mL. Furthermore, very slowly add the granular salt to the graduated cylinder using a funnel, being sure not to spill any. Now read how much is in the graduated cylinder. Second value - first value = volume of salt. Divide 10 grams by the volume. Answer would be in ___grams/mL^3

What is the Function of the Measuring Cylinder?
A measuring cylinder also called graduated cylinder is laboratory glassware used to measure the volume of liquids. Some of its functions are the following: it is used at home when there is a need to measure volume of liquid ingredients required for a recipe and itÕs also used to accurately measure liquids used in chemistry or biology laboratories.
Why do you have to wet the lead pellet before dropping it into the graduated cylinder when determining the volume?
When using a lead pellet to determine the volume of a liquid, the pellet is wet before being dropped into the cylinder so that it will sink faster. If the pellet was not wet it would take a fraction of a second to start to sink in the liquid.
How is hazardous material measured at construction site?
Hazardous materials are measured by weight or volume, depending on which material is being measured.
If a cylinder of radius 2cm and height 4cm is submerged in a graduated cylinder of radius 3 cm containing a liquid By how much does the liquid rise?
I would say that the liquid rises by 1.77cm... This can be obtained as follows given that cylinder of radius(r)=2cm, height(h)=4cm is submerged in another cylinder, determining the volume of the cylinder being submerged =16*pi. When this cylinder is placed in another cylinder the liquid will rise by an amount which equals the volume of the cylinder being inserted.(By Archimedes principle). Using this 16*pi, determine the height using radius= 3cm , we get h=1.77cm
Does mass and volume mean the same?
no, different things being measured
When reading the volume of a liquid in the graduated cylinder or you must read from the bottom of the?
You must read from the bottom of the meniscus. In a narrow, graduated glass cylinder, water has a slightly domed surface, with the centre being higher than the side, so giving a false reading if the centre height is taken.
Volume of the largest possible right circular cylinder that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius a?
volume of a regular right circular cylinder is V=pi(r2)h since the radius is (a) then the height of the circular cylinder would be (2a) so the volume of the largest possible right circular cylinder is... V=2(pi)(r2)(a) with (pi) being 3.14159 with (r) being the radius of the circle on the top and bottom of the cylinder with (a) being the radius of the sphere
What is a volume of a liquid measured in?
It depends on how much liquid (by eying it up) and what accuracy you want in your reading.In a lab, if you are dealing with between 1 and 10ml, you can use a graduated pipette (this is more accurate than a graduated cylinder).If smaller than 1ml, you could use a micropipette or a microsyringe (micropipette better).If larger than 10ml, you may be able to find a graduated pipette that goes above 10ml but they are uncommon in standard labs.In this case, you would use a graduated cylinder (beaker graduations are very misleading and are error prone)If you have a graduated cylinder, beaker, measuring cup, etc. feel free to use that. Sometimes when using a graduated cylinder or beaker the liquid will have a dip. It might look kind of like a trampoline that's being stepped on (although it can also be upside down). This is called a meniscus. If there is a meniscus, always take the measurement of the tip of the curve.If you don't have one of those tools you can take the measurement of the volume like length*width*height (depending on the shape of the container). If you can get this volume in cubic centimeters, one cubic centimeter is equal to a millimeter.--------------------------------------------------------In chemical laboratories frequently are used pipettes, syringes and burettes.Some delivering systems are very sensible, down to 1 microlitre.
What is a dependent varible?
A dependent variable is what is being measured in the experiment. Such as time, distance, volume, etc.
