Question

would the correct measurement be on the following graduated cylinder?
a 35.0 ml
b 3.5 ml
c 35 ml

1. ml

3.50 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the scale of the graduated cylinder

The graduated cylinder has markings from 3 mL to 5 mL. Each major division (1 mL) is divided into 10 minor divisions. So, the scale is \(0.1\space mL\) per minor division.

Step2: Read the meniscus

The meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) is at the 3.5 - mL mark. Since the scale is \(0.1\space mL\), and \(3 + 0.5=3.5\).

Answer:

B. \(3.5\space mL\)
