What instruments are used to measure volume?
Chemists use beakers, flasks, burets and pipets to measure the volume of liquids.
- Beakers and Flasks.
- Graduated Cylinders.
- Burets.
- Pipets.
What is the most accurate instrument for measuring volume?
Volumetric flasks
Volumetric flasks, burettes, and pipettes made for measuring small amounts of liquid are the most accurate, with tolerances of less than ±0.02.
Which of the following tools can be used to measure the volume of a solid?
The volume of these objects can be found by water displacement. A volume of water sufficient to cover the object is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume read.
What instrument is used to measure volume in the metric system?
Metric System Challenge
| A | B |
|---|---|
| amount of space an object take up | volume |
| 9.8 m/s2 | gravity |
| metric unit for mass | gram |
| instrument used to measure volume | graduated cylinder |
What is the measurement of volume?
cubic meter
Volume is the measure of the 3-dimensional space occupied by matter, or enclosed by a surface, measured in cubic units. The SI unit of volume is the cubic meter (m3), which is a derived unit.
Which is better to use in measuring small volumes of liquids the graduated cylinder or the pipette?
Graduated cylinders used to measure and transfer various volumes of liquids. The smaller the cylinder diameter, the more accurate the volume measured. Accuracy of graduated cylinders range from 0.5% to 1% of the total volume.
What instrument is used to measure time in the laboratory?
An instrument used to measure time is called a clock.
What unit is used to measure the volume of an object?
The volume of an object is measured in cubic units such as cubic centimeters, cubic inch, cubic foot, cubic meter, etc.
