The curve on a graduated cylinder is called a meniscus. It occurs due to surface tension between the liquid and the container, causing the liquid to curve at the edges. When measuring volume in a graduated cylinder, the bottom of the meniscus should be used for accurate readings.
What else can I help you with?
Are correct procedures for reading the volume of water in the graduated cylinder?
Water in a glass graduated cylinder adheres to the sides of the cylinder, forming a meniscus which is an upward curve. When reading volume in a cylinder, look at the meniscus at eye level. Read the volume at the bottom of the curve.
Can you explain how to read the meniscus in a graduated cylinder when measuring the volume of a liquid?
To read the meniscus in a graduated cylinder when measuring liquid volume, look at the bottom of the curve where the liquid meets the cylinder. Read the measurement at eye level to get an accurate volume reading.
Where is the least dense liquid found in a graduated cylinder?
The least dense liquid is found at the bottom of the graduated cylinder, because the less dense it is, the farther it will go down in th graduated cylinder.
If you place water in a plastic graduated cylinder would it have a meniscus?
Yes, water in a plastic graduated cylinder would still exhibit a meniscus. The meniscus is the slight curve that forms at the surface of a liquid when it comes into contact with a solid, regardless of the material of the container housing the liquid.
How are Balance and graduated cylinder alike?
The balance and the graduated cylinder are both used to make measurements.
