burette gives a much finer volume reading than a measuring cylinder and all the chemicals can be placed inside it at the start of the experiment.

Which type of glassware would accurately measure accurately 65ml?

A grade A burette (more accurate) or a graduated cylinder.


Is a graduated cylinder similar to a measuring cylinder?

They are the same thing. Both are glass or plastic cylinders with lines to indicate how much liquid is in the cylinder. Like a more accurate measuring cup.


Why is a buret rather than a graduated cylinder used when precise volumes are required in a lab procedure?

- the standardization of a cylinder is more difficult - the gradations are much smaller, because the diameter is smaller - the delivery of the liquid is more accurate, the burette having a stopcock


Why the temperature 20 degrees is marked on the measuring cylinder?

liquid has deferent density at deferent temperature and so deferent volume 20 degree Centigrade is written on measuring mean that this cylinder will give accurate volume at 20 degree centigrade


Why is a layer of oil placed in the measuring cylinder when measuring the amount of water taken up by a plant?

The layer of oil placed in the measuring cylinder when measuring the amount of water taken up by a plant prevents water evaporation. This allows for a more accurate measurement of transpiration.


What instrument which would be more accurate for measuring the volume of a liquid?

A graduated cylinder is utilized to get a more precise measurement of the volume of a liquid. They're also known as measuring cylinders.


What measures mililtiers?

A pipette, Autopipette, burette, a graduated cylinder for more than 1ml. etc


Why is a 10ml graduated cylinder more accurate than a 100ml graduated cylinder?

Because the smaller the cylinder the more accurate the measurement.


What would you use to measure volume?

It depends on the amount you want to take. If it is microlitres, you can use a micropipette, millilitres, a pipette (a burette would be more accurate), and if greater than that, it is best to use a large graduated cylinder. A graduated cylinder is more inaccurate than a pipette, but at volumes of 500ml for example, it is impractical to use a pipette.


What is the proper way to read a burette?

Any fluid!!! It is like a pipette, however, it is usually more accurate because you can use a burette loader which allows fine tuning of the liquid but not as fine as a gilson pipette. Basically, it is just a piece of apparatus used measuring liquids.


Why pipette is more accurate when determine the density of water?

because electronic pipette has the accuracy 0.01 microliter than burette.


Is a small cylinder or a large cylinder more accurate?
