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. ...
What is the crescent shaped surface of liquid that forms in pipette and graduated cylinders?
The crescent shaped surface of liquid that forms in pipettes and graduated cylinders is called a meniscus.
What is called when measuring a liquid in a container and you have a parabola at the top of liquid in the container?
The curved surface at the top of a liquid in a container is called the meniscus. When measuring a liquid in a container, it's important to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus to ensure an accurate reading.
Why are there lines on a graduated cylinder?
calibration mark
What is the name of the dip in a graduated cylinder?
The dip in a graduated cylinder is called the meniscus. It is caused by surface tension and can be either concave or convex, depending on the liquid. When measuring volume, it is important to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus for accuracy.
When measuring out a liquid in a graduate th upper surface of the liquid is called?
The upper surface of the liquid in a graduated cylinder is called the meniscus. It appears curved due to surface tension, and the measurement should be read at the bottom of the meniscus for an accurate volume reading.

What is the the bottom of a curved line in a graduated cylinder?
The "bottom of a curved line" made by the liquid in a graduated cylinder could be called the "measuring line" or "reference line" in the application of that piece of labratory equipment. The curved surface of the liquid itself is called the meniscus, and we look to the bottom of the meniscus to make our reading as to the volume of the liquid in the graduated cylinder. The liquid in the cylinder "grabs" the sides of the cylinder and "pulls itself up" just a bit, and that creates the curve in the surface of the liquid. And that curve, the meniscus (which is from the Greek word for crescent), leaves us with a problem: where do we "read" the volume marked off by the graduations along the side of the cylinder? And the answer is, "At the bottom of the meniscus."
What is the bottom of an object called?
The bottom of an object is called the base.
Explain Why is the surface of water in a graduated cylinder curved?
it is probably called figure it out, it is curved because glass is sticky. When you measure the volume from a graduated cylinder, measure at the bottom of it. It is called the meniscus.
What is the crescent shaped surface of liquid that forms in pipette and graduated cylinders?
The crescent shaped surface of liquid that forms in pipettes and graduated cylinders is called a meniscus.
What is the bottom of the bubble called that you use to measure volume?
meniscus
What is a test tube bubble called after the measurements of liquid is poured in?
The bubble is called a meniscus. It is caused by surface tension, and usually appears as a curved surface at the top of the liquid in the test tube. To accurately measure the volume of liquid, the measurement should be taken at the bottom of the meniscus.
What is under the ocean surface called?
the ocean-bottom
What is the comparison of the volume of space between the piston's top surface and the top cylinder at BDC and TDC is called?
The answer is Compression Ratio. You should try reading the Study Unit it really helps!
What is called when measuring a liquid in a container and you have a parabola at the top of liquid in the container?
The curved surface at the top of a liquid in a container is called the meniscus. When measuring a liquid in a container, it's important to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus to ensure an accurate reading.
Why should volume measures always be placed on a level surface?
When measuring volumes you should always measure from the bottom of the meniscus - the surface of a volume of liquid always has a slight curve called the 'meniscus'. Since the surface of any still volume of water is not flat (it is always either a convex or concave curve), it should be measured on a level surface at eye level - bend your knees until your eyes are level with the miniscus to measure accurately.
