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.

A measurement that is accurate is one that?
The measurement that is accurate is one that is precise. These are also commonly titled accurate measurements in the books.
Why is the graduated cylinder is more accurate?
It uses smaller segments of measurement making it more accurate
Why would it be important for your lab results to be both accurate and precise?
A group of precise measurements are a group of repetitive measurements that are very close together. Ie the standard deviation between the measurements is small. Not to be confused with a accurate measurement! Think about it like this, if you measure a piece of wood 5 times and each time you get an identical answer then the measurement are said to be precise. If however if turns out that despite measuring the length 5 times and getting the same answer you discover that the length is significantly off from the "true" answer, then you were inaccurate!
What glassware provides the most accurate volume?
The glassware that provides the most accurate measurement of volume is the measuring cup. A glass measuring cup has lines on it to give an accurate reading.
What are some guidelines for obtaining accurate observations?
Making careful sketches and Taking careful measurements
A measurement that is accurate is one that?
The measurement that is accurate is one that is precise. These are also commonly titled accurate measurements in the books.
How would the accuracy of your determined Keq change if all your volume measurements were made with?
If all volume measurements were taken with a graduated cylinder instead of a pipet, the measurements would not be accurate. If something requires a pipet to be measured, it is a very small amount and a graduated cylinder would not be the proper measurement device.
Why is a 10ml graduated cylinder more accurate than a 100ml graduated cylinder?
Because the smaller the cylinder the more accurate the measurement.
How important is accurate measurement's in cooking?
Accurate measurements help allow for accurate results in cooking. A perfect example is in baking.
What are the two requirements of measurements?
( 1 ) Measurement should be accurate. ( 2 ) Measurement must have the correct units specified.
Do you measure volume to the top or bottom of the muniscus?
The meniscus is a curve in the surface of a liquid that is caused by surface tension and by the attraction between the liquid and the sides of the container. The bottom of the meniscus represents the most accurate measurement because the lines of a graduated cylinder are in the middle of the graduated cylinder.
Which measurement of body composition is more accurate bmi measurements or percent body fat measurements from hydrostatic weighing?
Bmi
Why is levelling important in surveying?
Leveling in surveying is important to get an accurate measurement. The rise and fall of the grade will cause the measurements to be off, resulting in an inaccurate measurement of plots of land.
What aspect of your measurement would be hurt if you had an accurate graduated cylinder but were very sloppy in reading it?
precision
Who among the following is the more accurate in measurement the pipette or the volumetric pipette?
Theoretically a graduated cylinder...but if the only graduate I've got holds five liters with graduations 100 ml apart and I'm trying to measure to the milliliter, the pipette would be more accurate.
What are the two factors affects accurate measurement?
Calibration error and measurement error. Also, if the measurements are of different objects there may be random error.
Why would a scientist use a graduated cylinder instead of beaker?
A Volumetric Pipette is the most accurate and used for titration calculations, if you include that as a type of pipette then it is FAR more accurate than a graduated cylinder. A beaker is very inaccurate so don't even go there.
