Question

classify the glassware used in this experiment based on the number of decimal places that are recorded when measuring the volume of a liquid. 0 decimal places 1 decimal place 2 decimal places 3 decimal places answer bank beaker erlenmeyer flask buret graduated cylinder

Explanation:

• 0 decimal places: Beaker and Erlenmeyer flask are less precise, used for approximate volume measurements, so they record 0 decimal places.
• 1 decimal place: Graduated cylinder typically measures volume with 1 decimal place (e.g., 50.0 mL, but often reported to one decimal like 25.5 mL depending on size, but generally has one decimal for precision in many cases).
• 2 decimal places: Buret is used for titrations and can measure volume to 2 decimal places (e.g., 25.00 mL).
• 3 decimal places: None of the given glassware (beaker, Erlenmeyer flask, buret, graduated cylinder) typically measures to 3 decimal places. Buret is usually 2 decimal places, graduated cylinder 1, beaker and Erlenmeyer 0.

Answer:

• 0 decimal places: beaker, Erlenmeyer flask
• 1 decimal place: graduated cylinder
• 2 decimal places: buret
• 3 decimal places: (No glassware from the answer bank)
