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.
What is the the bottom of a curved line in a graduated cylinder?
The "bottom of a curved line" made by the liquid in a graduated cylinder could be called the "measuring line" or "reference line" in the application of that piece of labratory equipment. The curved surface of the liquid itself is called the meniscus, and we look to the bottom of the meniscus to make our reading as to the volume of the liquid in the graduated cylinder. The liquid in the cylinder "grabs" the sides of the cylinder and "pulls itself up" just a bit, and that creates the curve in the surface of the liquid. And that curve, the meniscus (which is from the Greek word for crescent), leaves us with a problem: where do we "read" the volume marked off by the graduations along the side of the cylinder? And the answer is, "At the bottom of the meniscus."
When you are measuring the volume of water in a graduated cylinder do you look at the top of the meniscus or the bottom of the meniscus?
You measure from the bottom of the meniscus. The top of the meniscus can vary wildly depending on the diameter of the tube, or the air pressure, or room temperature.
Uses of a graduated cylinder?
1. Look at the liquid at eye level 2. Measure from the meniscus (the curved line at the surface of the liquid) 3. Be sure to measure your intervals (the value of each measurement line on the cylinder)
How do you find the number of grams per serving?
You look on the measurements, in a graduated cylinder can help!!
What is use of graduated cylinder?
A graduated cylinder is used for measuring the Volume of different things such as irregular objects. It uses the unit ml. It has a miniskus FYI that is when you use water and if you look closely you can see it curve at the top. You measure the miniskus a the bottom of the Curve. Also to find the Volume of an irregular object you first measure the water (starting volume) then place the Object in it and you will have your ending volume. then subtrct the difference from the starting volume and the ending and you will have your volume in ml.
What should you look at to measure a volume of water in a graduated cylinder?
Place the cylinder on a flat surface. Read the volume contained in a graduated cylinder or volumetric flask, by comparing the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid),at eye level, to the nearest graduation or ring.
What is the spot you look at when you get a measurement in a graduated cylinder?
You measure from the height at which the liquid goes across the whole width of the cylinder rather than the meniscus which forms at the edge.
