Fastest method for accurate liquid volume transfer

Steps:

• Determine total volume: 100 cm³ per beaker × 50 beakers = 5000 cm³.
• Evaluate operations per beaker: fewer steps mean faster total time.
• Compare tools: burette and pipette are slow due to multiple fillings; syringe is unsuitable for liquids.
• Select single-step liquid tool: measuring cylinder delivers 100 cm³ directly.

Why D is correct:

• A measuring cylinder is designed for quick, accurate liquid measurement and transfer in one pour, minimizing time per beaker.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: Requires two fillings per beaker, doubling operations and time for 50 beakers.
• B: Gas syringes are for gases, not liquids like water, making transfer impractical or inaccurate.
• C: Needs four fillings per beaker, quadrupling operations and significantly slowing the process.

Final answer: D
