Question

question 3 0.5 pts the figure shows a liquid measurement using a 50 ml graduated cylinder. first determine the value of each increment, and then read the volume of the liquid. which of the following is closest to what you would record for this measurement, to the correct number of significant figures? 35.25ml 35.3ml 36.5ml 36ml 35.15ml

Explanation:

Step1: Determine increment value

Between 35 and 40 mL, there are 5 increments. So increment value is $\frac{40 - 35}{5}=1$ mL.

Step2: Read meniscus

Meniscus is between 35 and 36, closer to 35. Estimate to one - tenth of increment. Volume is 35.25 mL.

Answer:

35.25 mL
