What else can I help you with?
Can you use a graduated cylinder to find which of two objects has a greater mass?
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 are examples for inquiry tools?
Some example for inquiry tools are measuring cup, graduated cylinder, beaker, spring scale, balance scale, dropper, ruler, measuring tape, thermometer
A balance is used to measure mass true or false?
True, the most common method is to use a balance
Which set of equipment would be most useful to determine the density of a liquid?
The instrument used to measure the density of a liquid is a hydrometer. These are often made for specific purposes, because the density of a given liquid may not vary much. Milk hydrometers are used to estimate the creaminess of raw milk. A battery hydrometer is used on your car battery, for the density of the sulphuric acid varies with the amount of lead dissolved, which indicates the state to which the battery is charged.
What piece of equipment is necessary to measure a precise amount of fluid?
A small amount or a large amount? For small amounts pipettes are useful. Micropipettes are usually pretty precise. Burettes and graduated cylinders are also precise when used properly. It depends on what you are measuring and how much and what for.
How are Balance and graduated cylinder alike?
The balance and the graduated cylinder are both used to make measurements.
How are balance and a graduated cylinder alike?
Balance and a graduated cylinder are both laboratory tools used in experiments. While a balance is used to measure the mass of an object, a graduated cylinder is used to measure volume. Both instruments require careful handling and precise measurements to ensure accurate results in scientific experiments.
What is a difference between a balance and a graduated cylinder?
The cylinder measures volume, the balance measures weight.
Mass in grams of graduated cylinder?
To determine the mass of a graduated cylinder, simply weigh it using an analytical balance or scale. Subtract the empty weight of the balance from the weight displayed when the cylinder is placed on it to obtain the mass of the graduated cylinder in grams.
How are a balance and graduated cylinder different?
They are two different ways of measuring. A balance measures weight (or technically, mass) while a graduated cylinder measures liquid volume.
What are the advantages of using a graduated cylinder than a ruler?
well with a graduated cylinder you can measure liquid
What is a graduated cylinder and a balance?
A graduated cylinder is a glass or plastic device used in laboratory to measure volume of liquids.
What is the difference between balance and graduated cylinder?
A balance is used to measure the mass of an object by comparing it to known weights, while a graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid. The balance provides a quantitative measure of mass in grams, while the graduated cylinder provides a quantitative measure of volume in milliliters.
What is the difference between graduated cylinder and a triple beam balance?
A graduated cylinder is a tool used to measure the volume of liquids, while a triple beam balance is a tool used to measure the mass of objects. The graduated cylinder is usually marked with volume measurements in milliliters, while the triple beam balance has three sliding weights that are used to determine the mass of an object.
How do you measure the mass of an empty graduated cylinder?
The easiest way is to place the graduated cylinder on a scale or balance and measure the weight. You would then calculate from the weight (a force measured in kg, usually) to determine the mass.
What is the difference between a balance and graduated cylinder?
A balance is used to measure the mass of an object, while a graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid. Balances typically use a scale to determine weight, while graduated cylinders have volume markings along the side for measurement.
What is the lab equipment used to measure mass?
graduated cylinder
