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.
