Question

a volumetric pipette haas an uncertainty of 0.01 cm what are the lowest and highest possible volumes for a measurement of 0.20cm

Answer 1

Possible lowest volume = 0.19 cm

Possible highest volume = 0.21 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data

uncertainty = 0.01 cm

total volume = 0.20 cm

Possible lowest volume = ?

Possible highest volume = ?

Solution:

Possible lowest volume = total volume - uncertainty

Possible lowest volume = 0.20 cm - 0.01 cm

Possible lowest volume = 0.19 cm

Possible highest volume = total volume + uncertainty

Possible highest volume = 0.20 cm - 0.01 cm

Possible highest volume = 0.21 cm
