Accurate volume measuring

glass, why?
Answers
Answer:
Various laboratory vessels and devices are used for preparation of solutions and manipulation with liquids. They differ in the intended use and accuracy. Precise volumes must always be measured at constant temperature because, due to thermal expansion, changes in temperature are followed by changes in volume. For example water at 10 °C has much smaller volume than at 80 °C.
Volumetric vessels are usually calibrated for 20 °C (25 °C in the USA). Calibration temperature is written at every volumetric vessel. Substantial error may result e.g. from change in temperature during dilution of an acid. A lot of heat is released during dilution and temperature increases. When the volume of acid is measured immediately, the real volume after cooling-down will be smaller. The requirement for constant temperature must therefore be observed.
