Answer to Question #300269 in Organic Chemistry for kath

Question

Determination of Precision

Apparatus Smallest Calibration, Precision,

10-mL graduated cylinder

50-mLgraduated cylinder

100-mL graduated cylinder

Ruler

Answer 1

The volume measurements we make using a 10-mL graduated cylinder are more precise as compared to measurements done by using 100-mL graduated cylinder. In case of 10 mL graduated cylinder, tenth of a milliliter is the smallest graduation (0.1) and can take approximation to the hundredths place (0.01).
