What is the curved surface of a liquid called?
Meniscus
What liquid's meniscus curve up?
Water's meniscus curves up. Mercury's meniscus curves down.
How is the meniscus used in measuring the volume of liquids?
AnswerA meniscus is when the attractive force between the liquid and the container is greater than the attraction between the individual liquid molecules. This causes the liquid to "stick" to the side of the container, creating a curve. The volume must be read at the bottom of the meniscus.
What is the curve of the top surface of water in a graduated a graduated cylinder called?
Adhesion is responsible for the surface of the water in a graduated cylinder that is slightly curved at the sides.
Is a meniscus the scale on a Triple beam balance?
If it is, I'll be damned.a meniscus, as far as I know, is the maximum curve of a liquid in a measuring cylinder. you read the volume from there.
When you measure liquid volume you measure at the bottom the?
Meniscus
What is the curve on a liquid surface called?
The curve is referred to as the meniscus.
Where do you measure the volume of a liquid on a graduated cylinder?
You measure the volume of a liquid on a graduated cylinder at the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the liquid.
When measuring you do the measurement from the bottom of the meniscus?
You should always measure at the lowest part of the meniscus. The meniscus is a slight curvature at the top of a liquid in a container.
What is a meniscus why it necessary to know about it when measuring liquids?
The meniscus is the concave line of liquid that forms in a graduated cylinder (measuring volume) due to that liquid's adhesion (the tendency to want to stick to other things). When measuring a liquid's volume in a graduated cylinder, you read the volume from the bottom of the meniscus. Therefore, the meniscus does not measure anything, it is where you measure a liquid's volume from.
How do you use volume and meniscus in a sentence?
To measure the volume of a liquid accurately, it is important to read the meniscus at eye level.
What forces create the meniscus you see at the top of a liquid when you measure it?
The meniscus is created by adhesive forces between the glass and the water. THis means that the water water molecules are attracted to the glass so they can creep up the glass to a small degree. The water molecules are also attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding. These are called cohesive forces and they allows the water that creeps up the glass to bring other water molecules with them. The cohesive forces and adhesive forces can only resist gravity to a certain degree so in the middle the liquid curves downward.
How do you measure the volume of liqiud?
When a liquid is filled in a cylinder, the liquids usually form a bubble called meniscus. Then you measure the lowest point of the meniscus and record the measurement.
What is the scientific definition of meniscus?
In science, the meniscus refers to the curved surface of a liquid in a container caused by capillary action, which can either be convex or concave. This phenomenon occurs due to the adhesive forces between the liquid and the container materials.
What is the curve along the top of a liquids surface?
Meniscus.
How can you use volume and meniscus in the same sentence?
To accurately measure the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder, you must read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the liquid caused by surface tension.
Is the meniscus the same height for every liquid?
No, the meniscus is not the same height for every liquid. The curvature of the meniscus depends on the cohesive and adhesive forces between the liquid molecules and the container surface. Different liquids will have different interactions with the container, leading to varying meniscus heights.
