Question 8 • SS 25-26 Environmental Science A

Many types of scientific equipment are used to perform different functions in the science lab. Which of the following combinations of equipment would be needed to bring one liter of water to 85°C?

Answer
A
graduated cylinder, balance, beaker and hot plate
B
graduated cylinder, beaker, thermometer and hot plate
C
test tube, thermometer, and Bunsen burner
D
test tube, electronic balance and hot plate

Explanation

To heat one liter of water, first measure its volume with a graduated cylinder and put it in a beaker. Use a hot plate to heat the water and a thermometer to check when it reaches 85°C. A balance is unnecessary because the water is specified by volume, and a test tube is not suitable for holding one liter.
