Question 96

A student wishes to measure accurately the volume of approximately 75 cm3 of water. She has two measuring cylinders: a larger one that can hold 250 cm3, and a smaller one that can hold 100 cm3. The water forms a concave meniscus where it touches the glass.

Which cylinder and which water level does the student use to ensure the most accurate result?

A

Larger cylinder and bottom of meniscus

B

Larger cylinder and top of meniscus

C

Smaller cylinder and bottom of meniscus

D

Smaller cylinder and top of meniscus
