What tool would you use to measure out 50 mL of water?

Depending on how accurate you want to be you can use a variety of methods. Common methods include the following (with increasing level of accuracy) 1) graduated cylinder 2) volumetric pipette. 3) Calibrated micro-pipette (may require more than one transfer)


Which tool would you use to see how much water is in something a measuring cup or a graduated cylinder?

There's not too much of a difference between a graduated cylinder and a measuring cup, other than 'graduated cylinder' is more science talk.


Would it be more accurate to measure the amount of water that a container can hold by using one measurement with a large graduated cylinder or two measurements with a smaller graduated cylinder?

If you measure properly, the amount of water does not change. Measurement with whatever graduated cylinder you choose will not alter the amount of liquid measured. Most people choose to measure once with a larger one, but if the amount of liquid falls between the measurement lines, you can measure the "leftover" with a smaller cylinder and find the exact answer.


What is a graduated cylinder used for in science?

A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory glassware used to accurately measure out volumes of chemicals for use in reactions. They are generally more accurate and precise for this purpose than beakers or erlenmeyer flasks, although not as precise as a volumetric flask or volumetric pipet. They come in a variety of sizes for different volumes, typically 10 mL, 25 mL, 50 mL, or 100 mL and up to as large as 1 or 2 liters.Determine the volume contained in a graduated cylinder by reading the bottom of the meniscus at eye level.In other words, holding the graduated cylinder at eye level, the bottom of the curved surface of the liquid (called the meniscus) is where you read off the mark on the graduated cylinder to determine the volume properly.

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

Because the smaller the cylinder the more accurate the measurement.


Why is a graduated cylinder more accurate than a flask?

A graduated cylinder has a constant diameter and a printed scale on its side that indicates volume inside the graduated cylinder for any given liquid level. A flask has none of these advantages.

How can you accurately find the volume of a can of Coke?

Put it in a graduated cylinder. a) Find a graduated cylinder big enough to hold a can of Coke. b) Make sure it has a small scale. (Smaller scales are more accurate.) c) Fill the graduated cylinder with water to a mark on the cylinder. d) Find how much higher the water is when you drop the can in.


What can you use other then a graduated cylinder or a displacement to measure volume?

Technically, for a liquid, one could use Erlenmeyer flasks or beakers to measure volume; however, it will not be as accurate as a graduated cylinder. A buret can also be used to measure the volume of a liquid if more accurate results are needed.
