When reading a graduated cylinder you look at?
When you read a scale on the side of a container with a meniscus, such as a graduated cylinder or volumetric flask, it's important that the measurement accounts for the ... For mercury, take the measurement from the top of the meniscus. ...
Why do we use the lower meniscus to read the clear liquid and upper meniscus to read the colored liquid?
If the colored liquid is opaque (you can't see through it) you can't see the bottom of the meniscus. If the liquid is like mercury, you can't see through it but it doesn't make any difference because the meniscus is reverse from that of water. You read the top.
What is another word for triangular flask?
Another word for a triangular flask is a conical flask.
What is the curve along the top of a liquids surface?
Meniscus.
State two types of meniscus shape?
The two types of meniscus shape are concave and convex. Concave meniscus has a curved surface where the edges dip below the center, like in a test tube. Convex meniscus has a curved surface where the edges rise above the center, like in a droplet of water on a surface.
Why can't we read from top of meniscus when using a pipette or volumetric flask but we can for burette readings whilst not affecting the results?
When using a pipette or volumetric flask, the volume measurement is taken from the bottom of the meniscus because this provides the most accurate reading, as the liquid's surface tension can cause the meniscus to curve. In contrast, burette readings are taken from the top of the meniscus, which is acceptable because the design of the burette and the gravity flow of the liquid minimize the impact of meniscus curvature on the accuracy of the volume delivered. Moreover, the scale on the burette is calibrated to ensure that readings from the top of the meniscus remain reliable.
What is meniscus in math?
I am not quite sure what the meniscus is in math, but I do know what it is defined as when related to science. The meniscus when talking about science is the curve in a flask or other measuremnt jar in the metric system of the liquid. (the curve of the liquid wether it be up or down is the meniscus, although it is more commonly seen going in a downwards direction)

How do you accurately measure volume of a liquid?
To accurately measure the volume of a liquid, use a graduated cylinder or a beaker with volume markings. Make sure the liquid is level with your eye at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid). Read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus for an accurate volume.
Why do we use the lower meniscus to read the clear liquid and upper meniscus to read the colored liquid?
If the colored liquid is opaque (you can't see through it) you can't see the bottom of the meniscus. If the liquid is like mercury, you can't see through it but it doesn't make any difference because the meniscus is reverse from that of water. You read the top.
What is a curved surface on a liquid called?
A meniscus, but whether it has a positive curve or a negative one depends on whether it wets the glass.

What liquid's meniscus curve up?
Water's meniscus curves up. Mercury's meniscus curves down.
What part of the meniscus do you measure from?
You measure from the bottom curve of the meniscus.
What is the curved surface of a liquid called?
