What is more precise a pipette or graduated cylinder?
A pipette is more accurate. It can easily deliver one drop at a time.
What is better to use in measuring smaller volumes of liquids the graduated cylinder or the pipette?
The pipette, as it can be used to dispense microliters [liters * 10 to the power of -6] .
Why is a volumetric pipette more accurate than a graduated pipette?
Graduated pipettes are not as accurate as volumetric pipettes, because each graduation line is not individually calibrated, and any imperfection in the internal diameter will have a greater effect on the volume delivered. In volumetric pipettes, the diameter of the pipette where the graduation mark is located is significantly smaller because the majority of its volume is located in the bulb.
Why would a scientist use a graduated cylinder instead of beaker?
A Volumetric Pipette is the most accurate and used for titration calculations, if you include that as a type of pipette then it is FAR more accurate than a graduated cylinder. A beaker is very inaccurate so don't even go there.
If you were asked to add 50 mL of a stock solution to a reaction vessel which piece of glassware would you use to obtain this volume of solution?
You can use a graduated cylinder or a pipette of 50 mL.
What do you call the glass with measurements that is attached to a pipette?
The glass with measurements that is attached to a pipette is called a graduated cylinder.
What is more precise a pipette or graduated cylinder?

What measures exactly ml of sodium chloride?
A volume can be measured in laboratory with a graduated cylinder or a graduated pipette.
What instrument will you use to find liquid volume?
A graduated cylinder, a volumetric flask, a pipette, any graduated or calibrated container that will safely hold the fluid, a flow meter, a set of scales can also be used if the specific gravity of the fluid is known.
What measures mililtiers?
A pipette, Autopipette, burette, a graduated cylinder for more than 1ml. etc
What would you use to measure volume?
It depends on the amount you want to take. If it is microlitres, you can use a micropipette, millilitres, a pipette (a burette would be more accurate), and if greater than that, it is best to use a large graduated cylinder. A graduated cylinder is more inaccurate than a pipette, but at volumes of 500ml for example, it is impractical to use a pipette.
Measuring 27 ml of liquids?
27 mL of liquid can be measured with a graduated cylinder, a burette or a pipette.
What instrument measures milliliters?
A small graduated cylinder or beaker.graduated cylinderA measuring cylinder, a volumetric flask, a pipette, a burette. In the kitchen a measuring jug.The volume of a liquid can be measured by a graduated cylinder.To measure most liquids in mL you can use a graduated cylinder
Who among the following is the more accurate in measurement the pipette or the volumetric pipette?
Theoretically a graduated cylinder...but if the only graduate I've got holds five liters with graduations 100 ml apart and I'm trying to measure to the milliliter, the pipette would be more accurate.
What is better to use in measuring smaller volumes of liquids the graduated cylinder or the pipette?
The pipette, as it can be used to dispense microliters [liters * 10 to the power of -6] .

Name of a glassware used to measure volume of a liquid exactly 65ml?
To measure a volume of liquid, laboratory instruments known as glassware are used. The commonly used glassware are burettes, pipettes, volumetric flasks and graduated cylinders.
