Describe the experimental procedure for how a student can determine the total volume of a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask filled to the brim with water, with only a 100 mL graduated cylinder?

Procedure explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the total volume of a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask using a 100 mL graduated cylinder, follow the following steps:

Step 1:

First, fill the 100mL graduated cylinder with water upto the brim.

Step 2: Pour this 100mL from the graduated cylinder into the Erlenmeyer flask.

Step 3: Again refill the 100mL graduated cylinder to the brim i. e., to exactly 100 mL

Step 4: Pour as much water from this graduated cylinder as possible to fill the Erlenmeyer flask.

Step 5: Note the volume of water remaining in the graduated cylinder.

Calculation:

Volume of Erlenmeyer flask = 100mL + (100mL - volume remaining in graduated cylinder step 5)
