In an experiment you are asked to react hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide. when measuring the volume of the reactants, which instrument would give the greatest precision?
When measuring the volume of the reactants, the instrument that would give the greatest precision would be a graduated cylinder since it has marks showing the volume of the substance measured. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
Answer;
- A 100 mL graduated cylinder since it has marks showing the volume of the substance measured.
Explanation;
-A graduated cylinder or a measuring cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure precise volumes of a liquid.
-Graduated cylinders are specifically designed to measure out liquid volumes. Their tall narrow design makes for a more precise reading of the liquid level as compared to other pieces used to measure volume.
