A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory equipment used to accurately measure out volumes of objects for use in labs. They are generally more accurate and precise for this purpose than flasks and beakers.

What instrument will you use to find liquid volume?

A graduated cylinder, a volumetric flask, a pipette, any graduated or calibrated container that will safely hold the fluid, a flow meter, a set of scales can also be used if the specific gravity of the fluid is known.


What do you use to measure volume?

You can use a graduated cylinder. --------------------------------------------------------- In a laboratory you can use also pipettes, burettes, dispensers. For large volumes calibrated containers exist.


Are all graduated cylinders calibrated the same?

No, graduated cylinders can have slight variations in calibration due to manufacturing processes and materials used. It is recommended to check the calibration of each graduated cylinder and record any discrepancies to ensure accurate measurements.


What is the difference between graduated cylinder and cylinder?

The graduated cylinder is obviously graduated and the other one isn't.


If a graduated cylinder was not correctly calibrated how would it affect the results of a measurement?

This is one of those oddly obvious questions. If a graduated cylinder was not correctly calibrated, then it would yield an incorrect meaurement when you use it. Withouth calibration, you wouldn't know if it was reading high or low. It might be possible to make precise measurements, but precision is a different quality from accuracy. Being able to measure to a tenth or hundredth of a mililiter doesn't mean much is your measurement is off by half a mililiter.


What tool measures a graduated cylinder?

Graduated cylinder is a tool to measure volumes.


Does the 100 ml graduated cylinder have the same uncertainty as 10 ml graduated cylinder?

No, the uncertainty of a graduated cylinder is typically based on its smallest graduated division. Therefore, the 100 ml graduated cylinder would have a larger uncertainty compared to the 10 ml graduated cylinder.


A graduated cylinder is measured in?

Calculate the density of water using a graduated cylinder?

not quite. you can measure volume in a graduated cylinder. you can use a scale, water, and a graduated cylinder to find out the density of an object by filling the graduated cylinder to an easily calculated point (250) then dropping your object in the water making sure none splashes out then measure the difference, then weigh it and divide the mass by volume to get density.


How do you measure the mass of an empty graduated cylinder?

The easiest way is to place the graduated cylinder on a scale or balance and measure the weight. You would then calculate from the weight (a force measured in kg, usually) to determine the mass.


What is a graduated cylender?

A graduated cylinder is a cylinder that the measurements get higher and higher


Can mass be measured in a graduated cylinder?

No. You mesure volume with a graduated cylinder.
