1. A graduated cylinder is used to directly measure the mass of a liquid.

A. true

B. false

2. Which is defined as the amount of space a substance occupies?

A. mass

B. density

C. volume

D. area

3. All analog measurements require:

A. an estimation only.

B. an understanding of place value only.

C. both an estimation and understanding of place value.

D. neither an estimation nor an understanding of place value.

4. With respect to a graduated cylinder, what is an increment size?

A. the top marking on the cylinder

B. the bottom marking on the cylinder

C. whether the cylinder is a “to contain” or “to deliver” cylinder

D. none of these

5. Use the image below to answer questions 5 - 6. The image below shows a portion of a graduated cylinder containing a blue liquid. The numbers labeled on the graduated cylinder represent milliliters.

What is the increment size for this graduated cylinder?

Portion of a graduated cylinder between 10 milliliters and 30 milliliters. The increment marks at 10, 20, and 30 are labeled, with nine unlabeled marks between each. The blue liquid is filled to between the 20 and 30 milliliter marks. The top of the meniscus is at the fifth increment between them, and the bottom of the meniscus is at the fourth increment.

A. 0.01 mL

B. 0.1 mL

C. 1 mL

D. 10 mL

6. What is the correct reading for the volume of the blue liquid?

A. 2.4 mL

B. 20.4 mL

C. 24 mL

D. 24.0 mL

7. Use the image below to answer questions 7 - 8. The image below shows a graduated cylinder containing a blue liquid. The numbers labeled on the graduated cylinder represent milliliters.

What is the increment size for this graduated cylinder?

A graduated cylinder with a volume of 3 milliliters. The increments marks for 1, 2, and 3 milliliters are labeled, with nine unlabeled increments between each. The liquid is filled to between the 2 and 3 milliliter marks. The top of the meniscus is between the third and fourth increments, and the bottom of the meniscus is at the third increment.

A. 0.01 mL

B. 0.1 mL

C. 1 mL

D. 10 mL

8. What is the correct reading for the volume of the blue liquid?

A. 2.03 mL

B. 2.3 mL

C. 2.30 mL

D. 2.300 mL
