What is a meniscus is and how it is used to measure liquids?
A meniscus is the curve of a liquid. Like when you are filling a glass of water, if you continue to put water in the glass after it has reached the top, then the extra water will go above the glass in a curved shape. When you are measuring liquids in for example a graduated cylinder, you would take the measurement from the bottom of the meniscus. I hope this helps!
When reading the volume of fluid in a graduated cylinder the eye should be?
at the bottom of the curve there are two miniscus(curves) in all liquids present in cylinders.when a coloress liquid is present then we see the lower miniscus but when we see colored fluid we see the upper miniscus.
Why do the sides go up on the beaker in meniscus?
Assuming that the liquid in the beaker is water.... Due to the structure of water (two hydrogen, one oxygen), it has a slight negative charge near the oxygen atom an a slightly positive charge near the hydrogen atoms. These slight charges allow the edges of the water to cling to the sides of the beaker, thus creating a meniscus. Some liquids, like mercury, actually would create a reversed meniscus (compare an alcohol thermometer with a mercury one).
Why is mercury curved upward?
The meniscus (plural: menisci, from the Greek for "crescent") is the curve in the upper surface of a liquid to the surface of the container or another object. It can be either convex or concave. A convex meniscus occurs when the molecules have a stronger attraction to each other (cohesion) than to the material of the container (adhesion). This may be seen between mercury and glass in barometers and thermometers. Conversely, a concave meniscus occurs when the molecules of the liquid attract those of the container's, causing the surface of the liquid to cave downwards. This can be seen in a glass of water. One can over-fill a glass with mercury and produce a convex meniscus that rises above the top of the glass, due to the vacuum created with the airtight substance.
How many liquids are on the period table?
There are two liquids in periodic table. They are mercury and bromine.
Law of lower and upper meniscus levels in determining liquid solution?
In measuring liquids using graduated cylinder, there are two things to consider. 1.) CLEAR LIQUID and 2.) COLORED LIQUID (as we may say) In identifying the volume of CLEAR LIQUID (e.g. plain water, oil, alcohol, etc.), THE LOWER MENISCUS is read. For the COLORED LIQUID (e.g. soy sauce, ketchup, etc. ) the upper meniscus is get, since there is only one meniscus there.. (meaning there is no upper & lower meniscus.)
State two types of meniscus shape?
The two types of meniscus shape are concave and convex. Concave meniscus has a curved surface where the edges dip below the center, like in a test tube. Convex meniscus has a curved surface where the edges rise above the center, like in a droplet of water on a surface.

What two body parts have a meniscus?
The knee and the shoulder are two body parts that have a meniscus. The meniscus in the knee is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that acts as a cushion and helps with stability. In the shoulder, the meniscus is a fibrous structure that helps absorb shock and provide stability to the joint.
What is the bottom of the meniscus called?
The meniscus is located on the knee. It is made up of two different tissues that are known as cartilaginous tissues. One is on top, the other is on the bottom.
What causes a meniscus to form?
All liquids have some sort of intermolecular force that holds the substance together. To understand the meniscus, we must understand the interaction of the substance in the basis of cohesion and adhesion.Cohesion - the interactions between the particles in the substanceAdhesion - the interactions between the container and the substance.There are two types of meniscus curves: concave up or down.In Concave UP Meniscus curves, the adhesion is greater than the cohesion. Thus, the substance sticks to the walls more than to the substance. ie: oil and glassIn Concave DOWN Meniscus curves, the substance is more attracted to itself than to the wall and Cohesion > Adhesion. ie: Mercury and Glass. 
Is a mixture of two liquids heterogeneous or homogeneous?
No, it is not two liquids. It is two types of mixtures.
When two liquids are combined and they do not mix?
Your liquids are immiscible.
What are the two shapes of meniscus called?
The surface is concave if the liquid is attracted to the container walls and convex if it is not
How can be the two liquids become homogenous or hetero?
Two completely miscible liquids form a homegeneous solution.
What a meniscus in the knee?
The meniscus (plural: meniscuses, from the Greek for "crescent") is the curve in the upper surface of a standing body of liquid, produced in response to the surface of the container or another object. It can be either convex or concave.
