Liquid Volume Measuring Devices: The Graduated Cylinder and Buret Like weighing, measuring liquid volume is a fundamental and frequently encountered lab task. However, liquid volume is frequently measured using either a graduated cylinder or a buret. As the name implies, a graduated cylinder is a cylindrical glass (or plastic) tube sealed at one end with a calibrated scale etched (or marked) on the outside wall. Graduated cylinders come in a range of sizes (volume capacities), and much like a measuring cup, volume is measured by adding liquid to the cylinder and comparing the liquid level to the graduated scale. The measured volume corresponds to the volume of liquid contained in the cylinder. Hence, the graduated cylinder and devices like it (volumetric flasks, Erlenmeyer flasks, and beakers) are classified as to-contain (TC) devices. The volume of liquid in the graduated cylinder is obtained directly by reading the calibrated scale. In most situations, the liquid will be water or an aqueous solution.The liquid surface is curved (U-shaped) rather than horizontal due to the relatively strong attractive force between water and glass. (The curved surface is called the meniscus.) As a general rule, the bottom of the meniscus is taken as the liquid level in the cylinder (and any other volume measuring device). The scale divisions on a graduated cylinder are generally determined by its size. For example, the 50-mL graduated cylinder is divided into 1 mL increments. However, the scale of a 10-mL graduated cylinder is divided into 0.1 mL increments, and the scale of a 500-mL graduated cylinder is divided into 5 mL increments.The graduated cylinder scale is a ruled scale, and it is read like a ruler. The scale is read to one digit beyond the smallest scale division by estimating (interpolating) between these divisions. With a 50-mL graduated cylinder, read (and record) the volume to the nearest 0.1 mL. The 10-mL graduated cylinder scale is read to the nearest 0.01 mL and the 500-mL graduated cylinder scale is read to the nearest milliliter (1 mL).A buret is a scaled cylindrical tube attached to a stopcock (valve). A buret is designed to dispense or transfer a precisely measured volume of liquid to another container. The volume of liquid dispensed is determined by reading and recording the buret scale which corresponds to the liquid level in the buret before any liquid is transferred, Vinitial (or Vi),and after the transfer is complete, Vfinal (or Vf). The volume of liquid transferred is obtained by difference (Vf - Vi) and it is sometimes designated as Vt.Burets are available in a limited range of sizes; the most common size is 50-mL. The scale of a 50-mL buret is divided into 0.1 mL increments. Therefore, when the liquid level in a buret is read, it is read (and recorded) to the nearest 0.01 mL. Water or aqueous solutions are the most common liquids used with a buret, and like the graduated cylinder the bottom of the meniscus is taken as the liquid lever. The buret and devices like it (pipet and syringe) is classified as a to-deliver (TD) devices.
It is a liquid so it is measured in liters or milliliters!!! Hope that help you!!!BASED ON STP
no your can't. * * * * * You cannot find it using a formula but it can be measured. One way would be to submerge the object in water (or other liquid) and measure the volume of liquid displaced. That will be equal to the volume of the object.
well both of it means different things and volume is the amount of space and measured in m3 and cm3 the 3 means cube because it is measured in cubesentermeater and capacity is the amount of liquid the can hole a container and it is measured in L or ML
Volume is measured in decibals.
Volume is measured in cubic units.
volume of liquid
Liquid kind of volume is measured in liters. It can also be measured in kiloliters , centiliters, milliliters etc.
A measure of liquid is called volume. It typically refers to the amount of space that a liquid occupies, and can be measured in units like milliliters or liters.
a graduated cylinder
The volume of a liquid is what is measured in a graduated cylinder in milliliters.
To determine the density of a liquid, two physical quantities that must be measured are the mass of the liquid and the volume of the liquid. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the liquid by its volume.
Both liquid and solid volume are typically measured in cubic units, such as cubic meters or cubic centimeters. The difference lies in how the volume is calculated: for liquids, it can be directly measured by pouring into a container, while for solids it involves calculating the volume based on its dimensions.
The basic metric for liquid is volume, which is typically measured in units such as liters (L) or milliliters (mL). This measurement indicates the amount of space that the liquid occupies.
with measuring tools
This volume can be measured in millilitres.
The metric volume of a sink would be measured in litres.
The volume of a liquid is usually measured in Litres (L), millilitres (ml) or cubic centimeters (cm3)
