Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understanding the Problem
The problem provides data from a laboratory simulation involving the measurement of water volume using a graduated cylinder. The data includes the volume of a drop, the total water volume, the number of drops, and the average drop volume. We need to verify the consistency of this data.
Step 2: Calculate Total Volume from Drops
To verify the data, we calculate the total volume of water based on the number of drops and the average drop volume. The formula to calculate the total volume is:
\[
\text{Total Volume} = \text{Number of Drops} \times \text{Average Drop Volume}
\]
The calculated total volume of water based on the number of drops and the average drop volume is approximately \(0.9996 \, \text{mL}\), which is consistent with the given water volume of \(1.00 \, \text{mL}\).
