What is the curve of the liquid in a graduated cylinder?
Meniscus
The Meniscus When observing a volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder, graduated pipette, or buret, read the point on the graduated scale that coincides with the bottom of the curved surface of the liquid. The curved surface of the liquid is called the meniscus.
What is the curved water line called?
meniscus
A meniscus is a curve in the surface of a molecular substance (water, of course) when it touches another material. With water, you can think of it as when water sticks to the inside of a glass.
What is the name of the curve that forms when a liquid clings to the sides of a graduated cylinder?
The curved surface formed by a liquid in a cylinder or tube is called a meniscus.
When liquids are poured in a graduated cylinder The liquid will stick to the sides and create a curved line called a?
The actual curve is called a meniscus.
What have you observed on the cylinder curved surface?
Answer: In a cylinder there are 2 plane surfaces and 1 curved surface. There are 2 edges and no vertices. The base and top of a cylinder are of the same shape (circular) and size.
What do you call the curved upper surface of water that commonly appears when using a graduated cylinder describe what causes this?
the meniscus. The meniscus is formed when the sides of the cylinder pull. the water up the sides. This is due to adhesion. You should always read.
Why does the meniscus of water curve upwards?
When water is put in a measuring cylinder, the meniscus curves upwards. This is due to the greater adhesive force between the water molecules and the measuring cylinder than the cohesive force within the water molecules.
Why does water curve in a graduated cylinder?
Again, since polar molecules like to stick together, the water in a glass tube will actually tend to stick to the sides of the tube! You can see this at the top of the graduated cylinder, where the water will slightly creep up the sides and form a curve, which is the meniscus.
What is a meniscus in a graduated cylinder?
A meniscus is the curved surface at the top of a column of liquid. In a science class, this liquid is usually water or some sort of aqueous solution, and the column is usually a graduated cylinder or a pipet. As you may have noticed, when water is in such a thin glass tube, it does not have a flat surface at the top.
Which is the curved surface of a column of water?
A meniscus is the curved surface at the top of a column of liquid. In a science class, this liquid is usually water or some sort of aqueous solution, and the column is usually a graduated cylinder or a pipet. As you may have noticed, when water is in such a thin glass tube,…
Why does water curve in a glass tube?
Glass molecules also happen to be polar. Again, since polar molecules like to stick together, the water in a glass tube will actually tend to stick to the sides of the tube! You can see this at the top of the graduated cylinder, where the water will slightly creep up the sides and form a curve, which is the meniscus.
