Question

initial volume final volume which of the following is the best estimate of the volume poured from the graduated cylinder? 3.00 ml 4.60 ml 3.60 ml 4.40 ml clear all

Explanation:

Step1: Read initial volume

The initial volume in the graduated - cylinder is read as 8.20 mL (the bottom of the meniscus is at the 8.20 mL mark).

Step2: Read final volume

The final volume in the graduated - cylinder is read as 4.60 mL (the bottom of the meniscus is at the 4.60 mL mark).

Step3: Calculate volume poured

Subtract the final volume from the initial volume: $V = 8.20\mathrm{mL}-4.60\mathrm{mL}=3.60\mathrm{mL}$

Answer:

3.60 mL
