No, you would not use a graduated cylinder to compare the mass of two objects, that would be silly. Graduated cylinders are only useful to measure volume, not mass. Mass is measured with a scale. Chemists usually use a triple beam balance.

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 measurement of a liquid can you make with a graduated cylinder h ow can this measurement help you find density?

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.


What tool is used for water displacement?

A garduated cylander, in order to find the amount of water displaced you see how much the water has risen


How is volume of an irregular object calculated?

To find the volume of an irregular object such as a rock, you have to use displacement. If you place the object in a graduated cylinder filled with water, the volume of the object is equal to the amount of water that the object displaces. For example, if a graduated cylinder is filled with 100mL of water, and you place an object such as a rock and the water rises from 100mL to 106mL, then the volume of the rock is 6.
