If you use a dirty buret, the titrant leaves drops of solution behind as the meniscus descends during delivery of the solution.

The volume actually delivered by the buret will be __________ the volume your readings of the buret scale indicate was delivered


the same as

less than

greater than

impossible to relate to

Wouldn't you think less than?

the same as

Greater than

Less than

The true answer is 'less than', submitted that option and it was correct.

If you use a dirty buret, the presence of drops of solution left behind as the meniscus descends during delivery can affect the accuracy of the volume measurement. These drops can cause the volume actually delivered by the buret to be less than the volume indicated by the readings of the buret scale.

Therefore, the correct answer is "less than." The volume actually delivered will be less than the volume your readings of the buret scale indicate was delivered.
