93 mL of water has a given mass of 93 g.which object was more accurate in determining volume ,the graduated cylinder or the beak
er ?why?
1 answer:
The graduated cylinder gives the more precise measurement of volume.
The smallest division on a <em>graduated cylinde</em>r is 1 mL. You could probably estimate to half of the smallest division, so your volume reading would be 93.0 mL ± 0.5 mL.
The smallest division on a beaker is 10 mL. You could probably estimate to half of the smallest division, so your volume reading would be 90 mL ± 5 mL.
The graduated cylinder is more precise because you get more decimal places in your measurement.
The <em>accuracy</em> of the measurement, however, depends on you.
