What is a graduated cylinder and how is it used?

Answer 1

A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory glassware, cylindrical in shape and graduated, used to accurately measure out volumes of liquid reagents for use in reactions.

They are generally more accurate and precise for this purpose than beakers or Erlenmeyer flasks, although not as precise as a volumetric flask or volumetric pipette. They come in a variety of sizes for different volumes, typically 10 ml, 25 ml, 50 ml, or 100 ml, 500ml, and up to 2 liters. Measuring cylinders are sometimes used, if they can measure the quantity desired.

Determine the volume contained in a graduated cylinder by comparing the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) to the nearest graduation, at eye level.

Answer 2

A graduated cylinder is a usually glass (but some are plastic) quantitative piece of laboratory equipment. Graduated cylinders are used for accurate liquid measurement. To read a graduated cylinder correctly, the volume of liquid contained is measured at the bottom of the meniscus, which is at the top of the liquid, in the exact center of the cylinder, and not at the side where the liquid touches the glass (or plastic).
A graduated cylinder, measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid
it is used for the precise measurements of liquids.
To measure volume of liquids.

Pour liquid in the graduated cylinder then find the lower meniscus (lower meniscus's lower curve of liquid's surface) read the volume off the graduations.

Answer 4

Slender glassware container used to measure liquids

Answer 5

A graduated cylinder is a tool that can measure how much liquid you have. it is used by scientist and science teachers a lot.

Answer 6

It means, in this context, divided into marked specific intervals.

So a graduated cylinder is a cylinder divided into marked specific intervals.

Answer 7

it's a scientific tool used mainly to measure the volume of a liquid in mL

Answer 8

It is like a tall thin drinking glass with the measurements on the side, like a big measuring cup. These would be in metric volume ...

1cc =1 ml (milliliter) 1000ml=1 L (Liter)

Answer 9

That refers to a cylinder that has marks at different heights, to indicate volume.
