Many types of scientific equipment are used to perform different functions in the science lab. which of the following combinations of equipment would be needed to bring one liter of water to 85°c?
a. graduated cylinder, balance, beaker and hot plate
b. graduated cylinder, beaker, thermometer and hot plate
c. test tube, thermometer, and bunsen burner
d. test tube, electronic balance and hot plate

The correct answer is b. graduated cylinder, beaker, thermometer and hot plate

The explanation:

when:

1- graduated cylinder, measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape. Each marked line on the graduated cylinder represents the amount of liquid that has been measured

2- beaker is a glass container with a flat bottom that scientists use to hold liquids. ... In Britain, a beaker is a drinking cup mainly used by children, but in the U.S. the word is primarily used to mean a cylindrical glass vessel for mixing, measuring, and pouring liquid chemicals

3- The thermometer is an instrument for measuring temperature, often a sealed glass tube that contains a column of liquid.

4- hot plate is a portable self-contained tabletop small appliance that features one, two or more electric heating elements or gas burners.

so, we can use graduated cylinder to measure the volume of water , beaker to have it, thermometer to measure the temperature and hot plate to heat it.
