Due to the adhesion of liquid molecules to the surrounding of the graduated cylinder of to the glass sides of the laboratory ware, the liquid tends to curve. The proper way of using the graduated cylinder is to read off the volume by leveling your eyes to the lower meniscus.

Answer:

We should set our eyes in level of the meniscus to take the reading.

Explanation:

Meniscus is curving of liquid surface close to the vessel (here graduating cylinder). This curve is formed due to less cohesive forces between water molecules as compared to adhesive forces between water and glass.

Thus water forms a concave meniscus in a glass vessel.

Do to read volume measurement one should set his/her eyes in level of meniscus only.

What volume will 6.745g of neon gas occupy at standard temp and pressure?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
First, multiply the mass by the molar mass of neon to find out how many moles of neon there are. Then, multiply by 22.4 to find out how many liters there are.

6.745g Ne x 1 mole Ne/20 g Ne x 22.4 L/1 mole Ne = 7.5544 L

True or False. It is reasonable to assume that an atom with a positive oxidation number could make a chemical bond with an atom
patriot [66]

A loss of negatively-charged electrons corresponds to an increase in oxidation number, while a gain of electrons corresponds to a decrease in oxidation number. Therefore, the element or ion that is oxidized undergoes an increase in oxidation number.

Hope this helped
