A student sets up the apparatus shown in Figure 1 to electrolyse aqueous sodium sulfate, Na2SO4\text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4Na2​SO4​, and collect the gases produced at the inert carbon electrodes.

Figure 1: Electrolysis of aqueous sodium sulfate using graduated measuring cylinders inverted over carbon electrodes.

Describe how the use of the graduated measuring cylinders in Figure 1 improves the student's ability to investigate the stoichiometry of the decomposition of water compared to using standard, ungraduated test-tubes.
