Question

1. report the measurement below, in milliliters, to the correct number of significant figures.

o 6.05 ml
o 5.9 ml
o 5.93 ml
o 5.925 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Identify scale division

The graduated - cylinder has markings such that the space between 5 and 6 is divided into 10 equal parts. Each part represents 0.1 mL.

Step2: Determine the measurement

The meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) is slightly below the 6 - mL mark. Counting the number of small divisions below 6, we find it is 1 division below 6. So the measurement is 5.9 mL.

Answer:

5.9 mL
