Question

If a student made a solution by adding the solute, then filling the volumetric flask up to the line, but they filled it so the top of the meniscus touched the line, not the bottom of the meniscus, would the final solution have a [ ] that is too high, or too low? Why

Answer 1

Glassware designed for this level of accuracy and precision is expensive, and requires some care and skill to give best results. Four main types of volumetric glassware are common: the graduated cylinder, the volumetric flask, the buret and the pipet. These have specific uses and will be discussed individually. There are some points that are common to all types, however. These involve cleanliness and how to read volumes accurately.
