Answer:

Refer to the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the final reading on a burette, you typically follow these steps:

  • Initial Reading: Before starting the titration process, record the initial volume of the liquid in the burette. This is done by noting the volume at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid). Remember, you read a burette from the top down, rather than the bottom up like you would with a graduated cylinder.

  • Final Reading: After the titration is complete, record the final volume of the liquid in the burette, again noting the volume at the bottom of the meniscus.

  • Calculate the Volume Dispensed: Subtract the initial volume from the final volume. The formula is:


\text{Volume Dispensed $=$ Final Reading $-$ Initial Reading}

This calculation gives you the volume of the liquid that was dispensed from the burette during the titration.
