Which volume measurement method is more accurate?

Which volume measurement method is more accurate?

A graduated cylinder should be more accurate than a beaker.

Why is it more accurate to measure fluid volumes in a graduated cylinder?

Why is a graduated cylinder more accurate than a beaker? A graduated cylinder is used routinely for measuring volume and is considered more accurate than a beaker because of the permanently-marked incremental graduations incorporated in the clear cylinder.

What is the best unit to measure liquid volume?

liter
The liter (L) is the basic metric unit for measuring liquid volume.

How is the volume of a liquid measured?

The type of measuring vessel used to measure the volume of a liquid will depend on the amount of liquid we need to measure and the degree of accuracy with which the volume must be measured. If we are measuring the amount of water or olive oil (for example) required for a food recipe, a simple household measuring jug is more than adequate.

Which is more accurate method of measuring volume?

The results show that the suspension technique is more accurate and precise than the traditional water displacement methods and is more accurate than measuring volume using Vernier calliper measurements. Also asked, what is the most accurate method for measuring volumes of liquids?

Which is bigger a liter or a cubic centimeter?

A Cubic Centimeter (abbreviated cc or cm 3) is a cube that is 1 centimeter on each side. So it is one-thousandth of a liter, or one-millionth of a cubic meter. The basic unit of volume is a cube that is 1 meter on each side. The Unit is written m 3 (cubic meters). It is equal to 1,000 liters. A Megaliter is a million liters (1,000,000 L).

Which is more accurate, change in water level or change in volume?

The change in water level equals the volume of the submerged object. This method is more accurate than measuring water that has spilled out an overflowing beaker. You may need to remind students of the need for accuracy, not only in the weighing of the objects, but also in measuring the volume of displaced water.
