The measuring cylinder is a coarse measuring instrument and its accuracy is limited. If the smallest scale of a graduated cylinder with a measuring range of 5 mL is 0.1 mL, its accuracy is 0.1 mL; if the smallest scale of a measuring cylinder with a measuring range of 10 mL is 0.2 mL, its accuracy is 0.2 mL; and the smallest scale of a measuring cylinder with a measuring range of 50 mL is 1 mL. , its accuracy is 1mL and so on. Common more accurate measuring cylinders can only record one significant value after the decimal point, such as 7.2mL. Generally, there is no need to estimate and read, and there is no conclusion yet.
