Answer 1

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, when a liquid of a specific volume is transferred/poured from a container (in this case, beaker) to another container (in this case, graduated cylinder), the volume reduces (however insignificant), this is because parts of the water molecules will be "glued" to the interior body-part of the transferring container (beaker). Hence, the volume of liquid will be a little lesser than 100 mL when transferred into the graduated cylinder.
