Which SI unit is used to measure the amount of liquid in a graduated cylinder?

• A. gram (g)
• B. kelvin (K)
• C. liter (L)
• D. meter (m)

Answer: (C)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand that the problem asks for the SI unit used to measure the amount of liquid in a graduated cylinder, which is a volume measurement.
2. Recall that the SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (\(m^{3}\)), but in practical laboratory settings, volume is often measured in liters (L), which is a derived unit related to cubic decimeters.
3. Recognize that grams (g) measure mass, kelvin (K) measures temperature, and meters (m) measure length, so these units are not appropriate for measuring liquid volume.
4. Identify that the liter (L) is the commonly used unit for liquid volume in a graduated cylinder, making it the correct choice.
5. Conclude that the SI unit used to measure the amount of liquid in a graduated cylinder is the liter (L).
