What else can I help you with?
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.
What does a graduated cylinder look like?
A graduated cylinder is just a tall cylinder with a little spout that tips out, and has markings in 1-10mL spans.
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.
Can you explain how to read the meniscus in a graduated cylinder when measuring the volume of a liquid?
To read the meniscus in a graduated cylinder when measuring liquid volume, look at the bottom of the curve where the liquid meets the cylinder. Read the measurement at eye level to get an accurate volume reading.
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
