Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

You are not really helped by what is hold the liquid. Beakers and cylinders come on a lot of sizes. I hate to be crabby about things like that, but you really need to be aware that the question is slightly flawed (not your fault).

The beaker, you'd be like to get 1 sig digit. You have to be awfully careful about claiming more. So the and is 50 mL, but that mL is a guess and the 50 is not totally accurate, but what would you say the second digit is? 48 or 47? You don't really know. Maybe even 49.

The graduated cylinder is a little better. Read the bottom of the meniscus (the bottom of the 1/2 bubble). I think you can get 2 sig digs., so the answer is 36 mL. But everything also depends on what you have been told.
