What is the difference between a graduated cylinder and a Erlenmeyer yer flask?

A graduated cylinder is a type of glassware used primarily for the measurement of liquids. It features a tall cylindrical body with graduations on the side, with a larger diameter disk at the bottom for stability. The top of the cylinder may or may not have a lip, but generally has a pour spout. Graduated cylinders are typically made of glass or plastic, and are available in many sizes.
An Erlenmeyer flask, in contrast, features a cone-shaped body that tapers inward to a cylindrical neck with a small lip (but no pour spout). These flasks are typically used for mixing, because they can be "swirled" by hand with little danger of spillage, and for heating, because they can be clamped to a bench stand and have a large amount of surface area at the base to transfer heat to the solution contained within. Erlenmeyer flasks generally have gradations on the side (the tapered part, but not on the neck), but are not as finely graduated as are graduated cylinders.

What is the difference between balance and graduated cylinder?
Balance measures weight. The graduated cyliner measures volume. Think scale and measuring cup.
Whats the difference between an Erlenmeyer flask and a Florence flask?
What is difference between erlenmeyer flask and volumetric flask?
they are the same
What is the difference between pipette and graduated cylinder?
Pipette can hold a small amount of liquid but a graduate cylinder can hold more and its good for accuracy.
What is the difference between a test tube and a graduated cylinder?
Though they come in various sizes, test tubes are simply glass tubes. A graduated cylinder, however, has approximate measurements for varying volumes of liquid.
What is the difference between graduated cylinder and cylinder?
The graduated cylinder is obviously graduated and the other one isn't.
What is a difference between a balance and a graduated cylinder?
The cylinder measures volume, the balance measures weight.
What is the difference between beaker and graduated cylinder in terms of measuring a volume of liquid?
beaker holds the H2o been measured by the graduated cylinder
What is the difference between graduated cylinder and a triple beam balance?
The cylinder measures volume, the balance measures weight.
What is the difference between an Erlenmeyer flask and a Florence flask?
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.

Which graduated cylinder 1000 50100 or 10 mL is the most accurate?
Technically, as long as both are 'accurate,' both are acceptable. However, we don't live in an ideal world. In a 10mL graduated cylinder, the height difference between 1mL is visible, where in a 1L (1000mL) graduated cylinder, 1mL of difference isn't quite visible.
