What is the exactness of a measurement?
A measurement that can be repeated by an independent person or team of investigators.A measurement that includes the margin of error and resolution of the measuring equipment.
Why is the graduated cylinder is more accurate?
It uses smaller segments of measurement making it more accurate
What are accuracy and precision and what is the difference between accuracy and precision?
Imagine a dartboard. An accurate measurement would be analogous to hitting the bulls-eye. While a precise measurement is just the tight clustering of shots.
What glassware provides the most accurate volume?
The glassware that provides the most accurate measurement of volume is the measuring cup. A glass measuring cup has lines on it to give an accurate reading.
Would it be more accurate to measure the amount of water that a container can hold by using one measurement with a large graduated cylinder or two measurements with a smaller graduated cylinder?
If you measure properly, the amount of water does not change. Measurement with whatever graduated cylinder you choose will not alter the amount of liquid measured. Most people choose to measure once with a larger one, but if the amount of liquid falls between the measurement lines, you can measure the "leftover" with a smaller cylinder and find the exact answer.
