Matching apparatus to measurement type and precision

Steps:

• Identify the substance: options A, B, D involve solutions (liquids); C involves gas.
• Select apparatus by function: measuring cylinders for approximate liquid volumes; pipettes for precise fixed liquid volumes; burettes for variable liquid dispensing; gas syringes for gas collection.
• Check volume suitability: ensure apparatus capacity and precision match the given value.
• Eliminate mismatches: liquids need liquid-handling tools; gases need gas-specific tools.

Why C is correct:

• Gas syringes are designed for accurate measurement of gas volumes, as they collect and displace gases directly per ideal gas law applications in experiments.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: Measuring cylinders provide lower precision for 25.0 cm³ solutions; pipettes are better for exact liquid transfers.
• B: Pipettes deliver fixed volumes (e.g., 25 cm³), not arbitrary 32.7 cm³ for solutions.
• D: Burettes typically hold up to 50 cm³ for titrations, exceeding capacity for 80 cm³ solutions.

Final answer: C
