Question

1. image of a graduated cylinder with volume markings (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ml) and liquid; determine the volume of the liquid.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the scale division

Looking at the graduated cylinder, between 8 mL and 10 mL, there are 4 small divisions. So the value of each small division is $\frac{10 - 8}{4}=\frac{2}{4} = 0.5$ mL.

Step2: Read the meniscus level

The meniscus is at 8 mL plus 2 small divisions. So the volume is $8+(2\times0.5)=8 + 1=9$ mL.

Answer:

9 mL
