Measuring Volume of Liquid Using Graduated Cylinder

What is the primary reason to use a graduated cylinder instead of a beaker for measuring liquid volume accurately?

• Beakers are too small for most measurements.

• Graduated cylinders are made of stronger glass.

• Beakers are inaccurate for volume measurement.

• Graduated cylinders are easier to clean.

What is the curved surface of a liquid in a graduated cylinder called?

• A capillary curve

• A meniscus

• A liquid arc

• A volume bend

What is the purpose of the yellow plastic piece at the top of the glass graduated cylinder?

• To help pour liquids more easily.

• To protect the cylinder from breaking if it falls over.

• To provide an additional measurement scale.

• To indicate the maximum volume capacity.

When measuring the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder, where should you read the meniscus for an accurate measurement?

• At the top of the curve.

• At the bottom of the curve.

• At the highest point where the liquid touches the sides.

• From above the cylinder.

If you need to add a small, precise amount of liquid to a graduated cylinder, what tool should you use?

• A beaker

• A funnel

• A pipette

• A stirring rod
