how would the accuracy of your determined equilibrium constant expression change if all your volume measurements were made with graduated cylinders rather than pipets?

I'm a little confused. First of all, equilibrium constant expressions are based on concentration, not volume... and they are theoretical, not experimental. Please clarify...

Assuming that A, B and C are aqueous options or gases it ought to nicely be this: The equilibrium consistent expression is the equilibrium concentration of the products divided with the help of the equilibrium concentration of the reactants. The coefficients are exponent. [C]/[A] * [B]^2

The question is asking you to consider the accuracy of a grad cylinder compared to pipet. Which is more accurate?
If one uses a less-accurate device to take their measurements, then their data is less accurate. One should always choose the most appropriate tool (pipet, grad cylinder, vol. flask....) for each experiment to decrease error.
