Question

What is the least volume of liquid that can be measured using a definite volume beaker of capacity $100\text{mL}$?

• A. $100\text{mL}$
• B. $10\text{mL}$
• C. $50\text{mL}$
• D. $1000\text{mL}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $100\text{mL}$

Measuring beakers are also called definite volume beakers. These beakers can only be used to measure a predefined amount of liquid.
They cannot measure anything less than their specified volume of measurement.
So, a $100\text{mL}$ beaker can only measure a volume of $100\text{mL}$.
It can be used multiple times to measure a volume larger than $100\text{mL}$ but only in multiples of $100\text{mL}$.
