The water level in a burette is 30cm3 if 55 drops of water fall from the burette and the average volume of one drop is 0.12cm3 what is the final water level in the burette ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The final water level in the burette is [tex]23.4\ cm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given the water level in a burette is [tex]30\ cm^3[/tex]. The burette loses 55 drops, each one with an average volume of [tex]0.12\ cm^3[/tex].

If each drop has a volume of [tex]0.12 cm^3[/tex], then 55 drops have a volume of  [tex]55*0.12\ cm^3=6.6\ cm^3[/tex]

The new level of water in the burette is the subtraction of the original contents minus the volume loss.

New volume = [tex]30\ cm^3-6.6\ cm^3[/tex]

New volume = [tex]23.4\ cm^3[/tex]

The final water level in the burette is 23.4\ cm^3
