r choices to compress the gas as much as possible to make the meniscus easier to read to compress the gas as much as possible to equalize the pressure in the graduated cylinder with the atmospheric pressure
3. The height of the graduated cylinder when measuring the volume of co2 (g) produced is adjusted to equalize the pressure in the graduated cylinder with the atmospheric pressure.
We discovered that when the water level within the graduated cylinder is higher than the water level outside, the gases inside the graduated cylinder have a lower pressure than the atmospheric pressure. It would then be possible to equalize pressure by changing the graduated cylinder's water level to match the water level outside.
Therefore last option or 3rd option is the correct choice.

Following the law of conservation of mass, the mass percent of hydrogen in the resulting compound is 14.4%(wt/wt). This is assuming that all of the carbon reacts with all of the hydrogen. The solution is as follows:
mass % = mass hydrogen*100/total mass = 28.8*100/(28.8+171.2) = 14.4%
