Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which lab tool might you use to measure the volume of a liquid?
A
electric scale
B
bunsen burner
C
test tube
D
graduated cylinder
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Liquid volume is usually measured using either a graduated cylinder or a buret. As the name implies, a graduated cylinder is a cylindrical glass or plastic tube sealed at one end, with a calibrated scale etched (or marked) on the outside wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -A graduated cylinder measures in milliliters, which is a measure of volume. The English system equivalent is pints, quarts, and gallons. It is much easier to measure in milliliters, because it is already divided into the decimal system for you.

Detailed explanation-3: -A graduated cylinder is used routinely for measuring volume and is considered more accurate than a beaker because of the permanently-marked incremental graduations incorporated in the clear cylinder.
