Question

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

36.70 ml
35.6 ml
36.00 ml
36.7 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Identify scale - division

The graduated cylinder has markings. Assume the scale - division is 1 mL. We estimate one digit beyond the smallest marked division.

Step2: Read the meniscus

The bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) is between 36 and 37. Estimating, we get 36.7 mL. The last digit '7' is an estimated digit.

36.7 mL
