What is a meniscus why it necessary to know about it when measuring liquids?
The meniscus is the concave line of liquid that forms in a graduated cylinder (measuring volume) due to that liquid's adhesion (the tendency to want to stick to other things). When measuring a liquid's volume in a graduated cylinder, you read the volume from the bottom of the meniscus. Therefore, the meniscus does not measure anything, it is where you measure a liquid's volume from.
How do you use measuring cylinder?
A graduated cylinder is used to measure liquid volume in milliliters, mL. When you place a liquid into a glass graduated cylinder, you will see that the "line" at the top of the column of liquid is actually curved downward. This is called the meniscus. When you measure the liquid volume, you record the volume in mL at the bottom of the meniscus.
Does volume measure a liquid?
Some people actually can measure liquid volume with sound. This is because they know how long it takes sound to travel through a certain amount of liquid.
Can you measure volume by milliters?
Yes. You can measure liquid volume in milliliters. A graduated cylinder is used to measure liquid volume in millimeters, mL.
How do you measure a liquid?
To measure the volume of a liquid, you can use a graduated cylinder.
How do you measure Volume of liquid?
in units of measure
What equipment do you use to accurately measure liquid?
a gratuated cylinder in which you measure the volume of a liquid(volume same as mass)
Instrument for liquid volume?
Use a graduated cylinder to measure liquid volume.
Do beakers measure in millimeters?
No. Beakers measure liquid volume. Millimeters is not a unit of volume, and especially not a unit of liquid volume. Beakers usually measure in a fraction of a liter, such as a milliliter.
How can we calculate the density of a irregular solid or a liquid?
You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.
What do you use measure liquid?
volume
What does graduate measure?
