A graduated cylinder consists of glass. Glass is a highly polar substance. Mercury is nonpolar and has no significant attraction to glass, but mercury atoms are attracted to one another by metallic bonding. Therefore, mercury will form an upward-curving meniscus in a glass buret.

Why is a graduated cylinder more accurate than a flask?
A graduated cylinder has a constant diameter and a printed scale on its side that indicates volume inside the graduated cylinder for any given liquid level. A flask has none of these advantages.
What is a graduated cylinder brush?
It is a lab safety supply. It is used to clean the inside of a graduated cylinder after it is used. A graduated cylinder is basically a test tube with markings indicating the volume of the matter in the tube.
How is refrigerant pressure maintained in a graduated cylinder?
Refrigerant pressure in a graduated cylinder is maintained by adjusting the flow of the refrigerant entering the cylinder. A valve connected to the cylinder regulates the flow of refrigerant, allowing the pressure inside the cylinder to be controlled. Monitoring and adjusting the valve ensures that the desired pressure level is maintained during the experiment.
How mercury rises in thermometer by rising temp?
The mercury in the thermometer's tube expands and contracts due to the surrounding temperature. As the mercury is inside a narrow tube, it can only expand upwards, and contract downwards.

Reading the volume of liquid inside the graduated cylinder?
Always read from the bottom of the meniscus (where the liquid reaches up the side of the container).
Why does water have a meniscus if you put it inside a graduated cylinder?
It is a problem of surface tension of water and contact angle between water and glass (or a plastic).
How the volume of a rock can be found?
Rocks, if they have not been carved, generally have an irregular shape. It would therefore not be practical to try to measure their dimensions and perform geometrical calculations to get the volume. Instead, you can place the rock inside a graduated cylinder that has water in it, and observe how much water is displaced. That will equal the volume of the rock. Of course, if the rock is very large, you would have difficulty getting a graduated cylinder that is large enough, but if it was really necessary to learn the volume of the rock, you could custom build a container that would serve as an extra large graduated cylinder.
Where is the cam sensor on a 1996 Chrysler Cirrus LXI?
Six cylinder, it is inside the distributor. Four cylinder, it is on the driver side end of the cylinder head.Six cylinder, it is inside the distributor. Four cylinder, it is on the driver side end of the cylinder head.
What type of gas does mercury have inside?
Mercury has no atmosphere, so there is no gas present inside it.
How would you find the surface area of a cylinder with a cylinder bored out of it?
if the cylinder is on the inside, it would not affect the surface area. otherwise, subtract the part of the inside cylinder that touches the outside from the cylinder
What is the electric field inside a Gaussian cylinder?
The electric field inside a Gaussian cylinder is zero.
