Question

select the correct answer. which tool is most suitable for a chemist to measure the mass of a liquid?
a. electronic balance
b. graduated cylinder
c. measuring cup
d. meter stick

Explanation:

To determine the most suitable tool for a chemist to measure the mass of a liquid, we analyze each option:

• Option A: An electronic balance is used to measure mass (in grams, etc.). To measure the mass of a liquid, the chemist can place the container with the liquid on the electronic balance.
• Option B: A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid, not its mass.
• Option C: A measuring cup is typically used in cooking or non - precise volume measurements, not for measuring the mass of a liquid in a chemical context.
• Option D: A meter stick is used to measure length, not mass.

Answer:

A. electronic balance
