Question

A device used to measure volume of liquid is (This question has multiple correct options)
$A.$Burette.
$B.$Density bottle.
$C.$Pipette.
$D.$Common balance.

Answer 1

Hint: We should know that the volume is a three dimensional quantity whose measurement needs some more accurate devices. The amount of space taken up by a body is called its volume. It is measured in cubic units.

Complete answer:
To get the correct answer, we will analyse all the above given options briefly but properly. We first start with the option $A$.
Burette- A burette is a glass tube having a tap at one end and it is used to measure the volume of a liquid. This device is also known as Buret. There are two main types of burette, the volumetric burette and the digital burette. Therefore, option $(A)$ is correct.
Now, analysing option $B$
Density bottle- Density bottles are used to measure the density of liquids, especially liquids of moderate viscosity. It is basically a glass bottle with a stopper at its neck. The stopper has some holes in it which are used to find the density of liquid. They are not used for the measurement of volumes of liquids. Hence, option $(B)$ is incorrect.

Now, analysing the third option we get the following information:-
Pipette- Pipette is a common device which is used to measure volume of liquid. It is made up of glass. It is generally used as the media dispenser. Hence, we get to know that the option $(C)$is also correct.
Now analysing the last option,
Common balance- This device is used to measure the mass of any object. Therefore this option is incorrect.

So, the correct answer is “Option A and C”.

Note:
We should be aware of the difference between volume and capacity. They are different terms. Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object while capacity is the ability of an object to hold a substance. To answer these types of questions, we must know the basics of measuring devices. Don’t make solutions too lengthy by adding unnecessary information. We should only analyse the functions of the measuring devices.
