What instrument is used to measure large quantities of liquids?
Volumetric Flasks and Cylinders Volumetric cylinders and volumetric flasks are used to measure volume of liquids contained in them. They are calibrated for volume included in them – this is indicated by the marking “IN”. The liquid has accurate volume when it reaches the corresponding marking on the scale.
What instrument would you use to measure distance?
An odometer is a mechanical device that measures distance. An odometer wheel is used in surveying: this device counts the revolutions of a wheel and shows the distance traveled on a multiple dial readout (Figure 12.1).
Which piece of equipment would be best to measure 5 mL of a liquid?
Graduated cylinders are manufactured in sizes ranging from 5 mL to 2000 mL. As with beakers and flasks, graduated cylinders are available in either glass or plastic; glass is easier to clean, but more fragile and expensive than plastic.
