It depends I've seen Erlenmeyer flasks for 10 ml and 5 liters and a spread in cylinders of pretty much the same range. Whether one is bigger than the other really depends on which ones you compare.

Which piece of glassware is bigger flask or cylinder?

Typically, a cylinder is larger than a flask in terms of volume capacity. However, the actual size can vary depending on the specific dimensions of the glassware.


What are the advantages of using a graduated cylinder than a ruler?

well with a graduated cylinder you can measure liquid


Is a tall graduate cylinder more accurate than a short one?

The accuracy of a graduated cylinder is not affected by its height. What matters is the precision of the markings on the cylinder and the skill of the person using it to make measurements accurately.


Is a graduated cylinder more accurate than a beaker?

As a chemist I can tell you that there are a significant purpose differences between the two, though sometime masked in high school chemistry. In college you learn that the graduated cylinder are more specifically designed to measure volume of a liquid. The test tube is glass which is safer to do most chemical reactions in - meaning the test tube is not generally used for measurement but rather a container for liquids.


What is a graduated cylinder and how is it used?

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.Related Information: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.

Why is a graduated cylinder more accurate than a flask?

A graduated cylinder has a constant diameter and a printed scale on its side that indicates volume inside the graduated cylinder for any given liquid level. A flask has none of these advantages.

How do you find the volume of an object bigger than the graduated cylinder?

You can find the volume of an object bigger than the graduated cylinder by using the displacement method using a beaker. The object also can be measured with a rules length, width, and height.


Your son was given a question for extra points Why is a graduated cylinder called that?

A graduated cylinder is called such because it is more than just a cylinder. It is a cylinder used to measure liquid volume precisely. It is technically "smarter" than a cylinder hence it is "graduated".

What is the uses of beaker in the laboratory?

The beaker is a container for liquid substances in the laboratory. It is less accurate than the graduated cylinder because its line have bigger spaces/intervals


Why is a 10ml graduated cylinder more accurate than a 100ml graduated cylinder?

A 10ml graduated cylinder is more accurate than a 100ml graduated cylinder because the smaller volume allows for more precise measurements. The smaller increments on the scale of a 10ml cylinder result in smaller margin of error compared to a 100ml cylinder. This enhances the accuracy of measuring small volumes with greater precision.


Which tool would you use to see how much water is in something a measuring cup or a graduated cylinder?

There's not too much of a difference between a graduated cylinder and a measuring cup, other than 'graduated cylinder' is more science talk.


What is the different between conical flask and volumetric flask?

They both do something :)


Which is more precise a graduated cylinder or a beaker?

A graduated cylinder is more precise than a beaker because it has markings for measuring volume with greater accuracy, typically down to 0.1 mL increments. Beakers are less precise as they do not have these precise markings and are used for general mixing and heating.


You were asked to measure 5ml of water which one will you use - a 10ml or 100ml graduated cylinder?

You need to buy a desk that will fit in a very small space. Before you shop, would you use a measurement tool just estimate the space? Explain.How could you use a 100-ml graduated cylinder to measure 100mL?What two tools are used to measure length? When would you use each one?


What is a graduated cylinder used for in science?

A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory glassware used to accurately measure out volumes of chemicals 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 pipet. They come in a variety of sizes for different volumes, typically 10 mL, 25 mL, 50 mL, or 100 mL and up to as large as 1 or 2 liters.Determine the volume contained in a graduated cylinder by reading the bottom of the meniscus at eye level.In other words, holding the graduated cylinder at eye level, the bottom of the curved surface of the liquid (called the meniscus) is where you read off the mark on the graduated cylinder to determine the volume properly.
