Yes, the markings on your 50 mL beaker would be accurate enough to use for precise meansurement of volumes. The markings on a 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask would also be accurate enough.
What determines how precise a measurement is
The measurement of volume using a graduated cylinder is considered to be relatively precise, as the markings on the cylinder allow for accurate readings to be taken. However, the precision of the measurement can be affected by factors such as the skill of the person taking the measurement and the size of the increments on the cylinder.
The measurement that is accurate is one that is precise. These are also commonly titled accurate measurements in the books.
One limitation of a beaker is that it is not a precise measuring tool, as it typically has wide mouth and lacks measurement markings for accurate volume measurements. Additionally, beakers are not suitable for precise temperature control, as they are not designed to withstand extreme temperature changes.
No. Accurate relates to how close the actual measurement the instrument measures. Precise relates to how much detail the instrument gives when measuring. They are independent to each other: An measurement can be precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.141592654) An measurement can be precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.733677432) An measurement can be less precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.14) An measurement can be less precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.73).
Millimeters are more accurate than centimeters because they are smaller units of measurement, allowing for more precise measurements. Since there are 10 millimeters in a centimeter, using millimeters as the standard unit provides a more detailed measurement scale.
An automatically measurement has a higher precision than a manually measurement.
Rain gauges typically use millimeters to measure rainfall because they provide a more precise measurement due to the smaller unit of measurement compared to centimeters. This allows for more accurate tracking of rainfall amounts.
because of the mass
An example of being precise but not accurate is measuring the length of a table as 150.0 centimeters when the true length is actually 160 centimeters. The measurement is very specific and consistent, indicating precision, but it does not reflect the true value, demonstrating a lack of accuracy. This scenario highlights the difference between consistently obtaining the same result and obtaining the correct result.
Yes it is possible. 21.354 inches is very precise but could be inaccurate.
