Question

select all true statements as regards a buret (check all that apply)
the graduations start from 0 at the top.
the curved line in the fluid is called the meniscus
the volume is measured from the bottom to the top

Explanation:

• Burets have graduations starting from 0 at the top. This is a standard design for burets.
• The curved line in the fluid (due to surface tension) is indeed called the meniscus. When reading the volume in a buret, one reads at the bottom of the meniscus.
• The volume in a buret is measured from the top (where the 0 mark is) to the bottom (where the meniscus is). So the statement "The volume is measured from the bottom to the top" is false.

Answer:

• The graduations start from 0 at the top.
• The curved line in the fluid is called the meniscus.
