what is graduated a mass or a volume

A graduated cylinder is a measuring tool used to measure the volume of liquids. It does not measure mass or time.
To measure the mass of an empty graduated cylinder, simply use a scale or balance designed for measuring small weights. Place the graduated cylinder on the scale and record the mass displayed. Subsequently, subtract the known mass of the empty graduated cylinder to determine the mass of the cylinder alone.
To determine the mass of a graduated cylinder, simply weigh it using an analytical balance or scale. Subtract the empty weight of the balance from the weight displayed when the cylinder is placed on it to obtain the mass of the graduated cylinder in grams.
False. A graduated cylinder is used to measure volume, not mass. Mass is typically measured using a balance scale or other weight measuring devices.
The mass of an empty 10 ml graduated cylinder typically ranges from 20 to 30 grams, depending on the material it is made of (glass, plastic, etc.).
Knowing the mass of the graduated cylinder allows you to subtract it from the total mass of the cylinder and the liquid, giving you the mass of the liquid alone. This step is important for accurately determining the mass of the liquid without the container's contribution.
