Graduated Cylinder Practice

Front

What is a graduated cylinder?

Back

A graduated cylinder is a laboratory instrument used to measure the volume of a liquid accurately.

Front

What is the meniscus in a graduated cylinder?

Back

The meniscus is the curve at the surface of a liquid in a graduated cylinder, which is used to determine the liquid's volume.

Front

How should a graduated cylinder be positioned for accurate reading?

Back

A graduated cylinder should be placed on a flat surface to ensure an accurate measurement.

Front

What is the correct eye level position when reading a graduated cylinder?

Back

You should read the graduated cylinder at eye level to avoid parallax error.

Front

What does it mean to read the bottom of the meniscus?

Back

Reading the bottom of the meniscus means identifying the lowest point of the liquid's curve to determine the volume.

Front

What is the volume of liquid if the meniscus is at the 10 mL mark?

Back

The volume of the liquid is 10 mL.

Front

If a graduated cylinder shows a meniscus at 25 mL, what is the volume?

Back

The volume of the liquid is 25 mL.

Front

What is the importance of using a graduated cylinder instead of a beaker for measuring liquids?

Back

A graduated cylinder provides more accurate and precise measurements than a beaker.

Front

What is the volume of liquid if the meniscus is at 16 mL?

Back

The volume of the liquid is 16 mL.

Front

What is the volume of liquid if the meniscus is at 28 mL?

Back

The volume of the liquid is 28 mL.
