What should you look at to measure a volume of water in a graduated cylinder?

Answer 1

Place the cylinder on a flat surface. Read the volume contained in a graduated cylinder or volumetric flask, by comparing the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid),at eye level, to the nearest graduation or ring.

Answer 2

Well obviously it depends on the graduations. If it is graduated in volume, ie cubic inches, fluid ounces, or cc or ml, you just read straight across. Make sure your eye level is level with the top surface of the liquid, and read at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved top surface of the liquid)

Answer 3

to measure with a graduated cylinder you put water in the tube (90ml)then you put or place the object in the tube then you write down the total (98ml)the you subtract the amount that you put in and the amount that you had with the object and then you get the total

Answer 4

First, pour the liquid that you wish to measure into the graduated cylinder. Then, read the markings on the cylinder, at the top of the fluid column. That tells you the volume (usually in milliliters).

Answer 5

sit the cylinder down on a flat surface and crouch down to get eye level with it

Answer 6

Always read from the bottom of the meniscus (where the liquid reaches up the side of the container).

Answer 7

You should look at the meniscus.

Answer 8

You pour liquid into it.
