what situation do you use a volumetric flask,conical flask,pipete and graduated cylinder from their accuracy aspects
Answers
A Volumetric flask is used in laboratories for measuring exact volumes of liquids and preparation of solutions or mixtures.
Conical flasks are used for storage of liquids.
Pipette is used for transferring solution from one flask to another. It is a long narrow tube, with a slight bulge at one end and solutions are sucked into the bulge by the user.
A Graduated cylinder is used for measuring volumes of liquids. Unlike a test tube, it can be kept upright on a flat surface.
Volumetric Flask- It is used to contain a predetermined volume of substance which is calibrated and only measures that volume, for example, 250 ml.
Conical flask- Conical flasks can measure up to 10ml of volume. They are used in titration.
Pipette- Used in titration, they are very accurate and can measure volume in as little as 1ml.
Graduated cylinders- They are used to contain liquids. They come in various shapes and sizes. They can accurately measure as little as 1ml.
