Question

how the presence of an air bubble in the liquid taken in the measuring cylinder can affect the volume of the cylinder

Answer 1

Since air bubbles take up space, the presence of air bubbles in a liquid in a measuring cylinder will make the reading to be higher.

When the air bubbles are removed the reading will go down to the correct volume of the liquid.

Answer 2

Hello dear,
This refers to some density related experiment from 10th std.

● How do presence of air bubble in liquid affect measurement of volume ?
- When air bubbles are present in the liquid, volume of liquid as well as bubbles is taken into reading.
- Due to this inflation of volume, measured volume is more than true volume of the liquid.


Hope this helps you...
