Question

The given graduated cylinder is calibrated in

milliliters (mL).
Determine the volume of liquid in the graduated cylinder
and report it to the correct number of significant figures.
Volume________mL

Answer 1

Answer : The volume of liquid in graduated cylinder is, 20.6 mL.

Explanation :

As we know that for the measurement of the volume of liquid in graduated cylinder are shown by placing the graduated cylinder on the flat surface and then view the height of the liquid in the graduated cylinder with the naked eyes directly level with the liquid.

The liquid will tend to curve downward that means this curve is known as the meniscus.

In the case of colored liquid, we are always read the upper meniscus of the liquid for the measurement.

In the case of colorless liquid, we are always read the lower meniscus of the liquid for the measurement.

In the given image, there are 10 division between the 20 and 30 and the smallest division is, 0.1 and the solution is colored. So, the volume of liquid will be, 20 ml + 0.6 ml = 20.6 ml.

Hence, the volume of liquid in graduated cylinder is, 20.6 mL.

Answer 2

For this case, the first thing you should do is observe the level of the liquid in the graduated cylinder, where it is located.

This will result in its volume.

We have then that the volume is given by:

`V = 26mL`

Answer:

the volume of liquid in the graduated cylinder is:

`V = 26mL`
