If you place water in a plastic graduated cylinder would it have a meniscus?
Formation of meniscus is a general phenomenon.
Is the meniscus the same height for every liquid?
No. Water is one of the few liquids that have enough surface tension to form a meniscus
Is this what a meniscus means in scientific terms?
when the water in a beaker is between two numbers on the scale.
Does meniscus always concave?
Do you mean is a meniscus always concave? If so, then no. For example, the meniscus of mercury is convex.
Are correct procedures for reading the volume of water in the graduated cylinder?
Water in a glass graduated cylinder adheres to the sides of the cylinder, forming a meniscus which is an upward curve. When reading volume in a cylinder, look at the meniscus at eye level. Read the volume at the bottom of the curve.
When water is in a container the surface of the water is curved this curve is called?
The meniscus - the upward curve of a liquid in a narrow vessel.Read more: When_water_is_ina_container_the_surface_of_the_water_is_curved_this_curve_is_called
What is a synonyms for the science word meniscus?
water surface meniscus or knee cartilage meniscus?
What liquid's meniscus curve up?
Water's meniscus curves up. Mercury's meniscus curves down.
What is the curve at a liquid surface?
The meniscus, which is creaded by adhesion of the liquid particles to the surface of the container. Water meniscus domes upwards - the water has greater bonding to its own molecules; Mercury meniscus domes downwards.
What is the lowest point of the water level in a graduated cylinder called?
It's called Ya Mum's Panis
When water is in a container and the water is curved What is the curve called?
This is called the meniscus. The meniscus is caused by the high surface tension of water.
Meniscus?
The top of the water.
What is a substance whose meniscus would curve downward?
Mercury's meniscus curves down. Water's meniscus curves up.
What is the zero correction and meniscus correction in hydrometer analysis?
· Zero Correction (Fz): If the zero reading in the hydrometer (in the control cylinder) is below the water meniscus, it is (+), if above it is (-), if at the meniscus it is zero.· Meniscus Correction (Fm): Difference between upper level of meniscus and water level of control cylinder.
What is the curve of water called?
meniscus
What is a meniscus used for?
the meniscus is not actually used for any thing water has certain properties that cause it to kind of climb up the sides of things it is inside of the meniscus is what this small amount of water is called
What is the meniscus rule used for?
The meniscus rule states that you always measure the volume of a water-based solution from the bottom of the meniscus when you are using a graduated cylinder.
