Does the 100 ml graduated cylinder have the same uncertainty as 10 ml graduated cylinder?

It depends on the smallest unit. For a 10mL graduated cylinder, the smallest unit is usually 0.1mL while a 100mL graduated cylinder is usually 1mL. Therefore: 10mL= (0.1mL/2) is an uncertainty of 0.05mL 100mL=(1mL/2) is an uncertainty of 0.5 mL Another way to think of it is that there are ten 10mL cylinders in an 100mL cylinder, so the 100mL cylinder has an uncertainty of ten times the 10mL. Hope this helped!
