Best answer choice is "<u>Mass of the graduated cylinder with the liquid in </u><u>it</u> "
Explanation:
if they want to determine density of liquid they'll use D= m/v
they already have the volume (v)
now they just need the mass (m) of the liquid(BUT NOT OF THE CYLINDER) You'll want the LIQUID'S mass (m)ONLY
So <em>"</em><em>Mass of the graduated cylinder with the liquid in it</em><em>"</em> = Liquid's mass WITH the cylinder's mass ALSO, let's get rid of the cylinder's mass
now you get the liquid's mass by itself
mass of graduated cylinder with liquid in it subtracted by the <em>Mass</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>empty</em><em> </em><em>graduated</em><em> </em><em>cylinder</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>m</em><em>)</em><em> </em>mass of liquid
(m) mass of liquid ÷ (v) volume of liquid in the graduated cylinder =(D)Density
So your answer will be "Mass of the graduated cylinder with the liquid in it"
