Why don't we record the initial volume of the burette instead of the initial reading?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Welcome to OpenStudy. Your sentence doesn't really make sense to me...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why do we record the initial reading of the burette??? Why can't we record the initial volume???

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

I would say because the scale doesn't begin where the valve is.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I think we assume the initial reading to be 0 because burettes are made to fill up to that level everytime.
