Why are there lines on a graduated cylinder?
calibration mark
Which apparatus would you choose to measure 200 ml of liquid?
You can use a graduated cylinder or a beaker to measure 200 ml of liquid accurately. Make sure to check the meniscus at eye level for precise measurement.
How would 12.0000ml be measured from 50ml graduated cylinder?
To measure 12.0000 ml from a 50 ml graduated cylinder, fill the cylinder past the 12 ml mark and then carefully pour out the excess liquid until the bottom of the meniscus is exactly at the 12 ml mark. Be cautious and precise when pouring to achieve an accurate measurement.
How do you read a graduated cylinder while using the meniscus?
The most accurate way to read a graduated cylinder is to place it on a flat surface. Bend down so you are eye level with the Meniscus Line, the line that is formed by the border between the unfilled portion of the cylinder and the top of the liquid. The very lowest part of this line is where you read the measurement. The markings are in whole numbers, 1, 2, 3, etc., with 10 lines between each number.
Which property of water causes water to curve in a graduated cylinder?
With most liquids, the attractive force between the liquid and the container is greater than the attraction between the individual liquid molecules. So the liquid "sticks" to the side of the container. A few liquids have a "backwards" meniscus. An example is mercury. If you put mercury in a test tube, it would be higher in the middle than at the edges.
What is the curve of the top surface where the water is in a graduated cylinder called?
that would be the meniscus
If you place water in a plastic graduated cylinder would it have a meniscus?
Yes, water in a plastic graduated cylinder would still exhibit a meniscus. The meniscus is the slight curve that forms at the surface of a liquid when it comes into contact with a solid, regardless of the material of the container housing the liquid.

How would you find the volume of a glass of water?
you carefully poor the water into a graduated cylinder and meassure at the lowest point of the meniscus.
Which graduated cylinder would be the best one to use to measure exactly 15ml of water Why?
Either a 100 mL or a 50 mL The 50 mL is better because you can see the meniscus against the graduated lines of the cylinder better.

You can use a graduated cylinder or a beaker to measure 200 ml of liquid accurately. Make sure to check the meniscus at eye level for precise measurement.
How would you measure 20 milliliters using a graduated cylinder?
To measure 20 milliliters using a graduated cylinder, pour liquid into the cylinder until the meniscus (the curved surface) lines up with the 20 ml mark on the graduated scale. Make sure to read the measurement at eye level for accuracy.

Can you measure worms by using a graduated cylinder?
it depends... why would you use a graduated cylinder?
Why should you measure a liquid at the bottom of the meniscus?
The liquid molecules are more strongly attracted to the graduated cylinder than to each other. This causes the liquid to rise up on the sides of the graduated cylinder. Therefore it is important to read the line, even with the center of the meniscus, and at the bottom of the meniscus to accurately measure the volume of a liquid in the graduated cylinder. If you are still a bit confused I also found some information at this website: http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistrylabexperiments/qt/meniscus.htm
