What is the curved line that forms when water is in a graduated cylinder?
This line is called the meniscus.
What is a graduated cylinder divided into?
A graduated cylinder is divided into ounces or milliliters.
Where and who invented the graduated cylinder?
Albert Einstine Invented the Graduated Cylinder in 1009
What would you use to measure using a graduated cylinder?
You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.
How do I find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder?
To determine the volume of an irregular object using graduated cylinders, you fill a graduated cylinder with water right to the top, then submerge the object in the water. Measure the water that overflows using a second graduated cylinder, and read the water level in it in cc's or cubic inches. That is the object's volume.
Which is the most accurate way to read graduated cylinder?
at the bottom of the meniscus
What is the line on the graduated cylinder called?
meniscus
Using a 10ml graduated cylinder you can read to the what place?
Using a 10 ML graduated cylinder you can read 2 decimal places. This is also measuring volume.
How do read a measurement on a graduated cylinder?
In milliliters (mL)
What do you read in a graduated cylinder to identfy the exact amount of liquid in it?
You *don't* read the line where the fluid meets the glass. You look past it, to the middle of the downward curve in the fluid, the "meniscus" and read from that.
When reading a graduated cylinder you should have it at?
You should read a graduated cylinder at eye level. See the related link for rules regarding menisci.
What is the curved line that forms when water is in a graduated cylinder?
This line is called the meniscus.
When measuring with a graduated cylinder you pour liquid into a what?
When measuring with a graduated cylinder, you pour the liquid into the cylinder to a precise level. Read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus, which is the curved surface of the liquid. Be sure to read the measurement at eye level for accuracy.
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."
Are correct procedures for reading the volume of water in the graduated cylinder?
To read the volume of water in a graduated cylinder, make sure your eye is level with the meniscus (the curved surface of the water). Read the volume at the bottom of the meniscus to get an accurate measurement. Ensure the graduated cylinder is on a flat surface to prevent parallax errors.
Why are there lines on a graduated cylinder?
calibration mark
On a hot day a student observes water drops on the outside of a bottle of cold water. Explain this observation in terms of the concept of thermal energy.?
Use the water displacement method. You need a graduated cylinder and some water. Fill the graduated cylinder with enough water so that when you place the rock in the graduated cylinder it will cover the rock. Read the meniscus (the slightly curved line of the water) at eye level. Record your measurement of the water in the graduated cylinder (in mL). Place the rock in the graduated cylinder and record your new measurement of the water line, again at eye level. Subtract the original measurement from the new one to get the volume of the rock.
