Reading the MeniscusReading the Meniscus
Always read volume from the bottom of the meniscus. The meniscus is the curved surface of a liquid in a narrow cylindrical container.
![Page 14: Measurements in the Chemistry Laboratory Unit 1 Lesson 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649d055503460f949d9325/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Graduated CylindersGraduated Cylinders
The glass cylinder has etched marks to indicate volumes, a pouring lip, and quite often, a plastic bumper to prevent breakage.

Measuring VolumeMeasuring Volume
Determine the volume contained in a graduated cylinder by reading the bottom of the meniscus at eye level. Read the volume using all certain digits and one uncertain digit.
Certain digits are determined from the calibration marks on the cylinder. The uncertain digit (the last digit of the reading) is estimated.
![Page 17: Measurements in the Chemistry Laboratory Unit 1 Lesson 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649d055503460f949d9325/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Use the graduations to Use the graduations to find all certain digitsfind all certain digits
There are two unlabeled graduations below the meniscus, and each graduation represents 1 mL, so the certain digits of the reading are…
52 mL.

The meniscus is about eight tenths of the way to the next graduation, so the final digit in the reading is .
The volume in the graduated cylinder is

The The ThermometerThermometer
o Determine the temperature by reading the scale on the thermometer at eye level.o Read the temperature by using all certain digits and one uncertain digit. o Certain digits are determined from the
calibration marks on the thermometer. o The uncertain digit (the last digit of the reading) is estimated. o On most thermometers encountered in a general chemistry lab, the tenths place is the uncertain digit.

If the thermometer bulb touches the flask, the temperature of the glass will be measured instead of the temperature of the solution. Readings may be incorrect, particularly if the flask is on a hotplate or in an ice bath.
