Which of the following laboratory instruments is most commonly used to measure the volume of a liquid accurately?
A
Graduated cylinder
B
Filter paper
C
Bunsen burner
D
Balance
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the purpose of each instrument listed: a graduated cylinder is designed to measure liquid volumes, filter paper is used for filtration, a Bunsen burner provides heat, and a balance measures mass.
Recall that accurate volume measurement requires an instrument calibrated for liquid volume, typically marked with volume graduations.
Recognize that a graduated cylinder has clear volume markings and is specifically made to measure liquid volumes with reasonable accuracy.
Filter paper, Bunsen burner, and balance serve different functions and are not intended for measuring liquid volume.
Conclude that the graduated cylinder is the most appropriate and commonly used instrument for accurately measuring the volume of a liquid in the laboratory.
