Question

Match the following names of glassware with what you would use them for.(1) Glassware used to accurately transfer small volumes.(2) Glassware used to accurately transfer a small, single volume.(3) Glassware used to deliver a volume not known in advance.(4) Glassware best used when greater access to the contents is needed.(5) Glassware used to prevent splashing or evaporation.(6) Glassware used to make accurate solutions.(A) Graduated pippete(B) Volumetric Pipette(C) Beaker(D) Buret(E) Erlenmeyer flask(F) Volumetric Flask

Answer 1

Answer:

(1)=(A), (2)=(B), (3)=D, (4)=C, (5)=E, (6)=F

Explanation:

(1) Glassware used to accurately transfer small volumes = (A) Graduated pipette, that is basically a glass tube with graduation of different volumes to be dispensed.

(2) Glassware used to accurately transfer a small, single volume = (B) Volumetric pipette, that is a glass tube with a central glass bulb and is used to dispense accurately an unique volume of liquid everytime.

(3) Glassware to deliver a volume not known in advance = (D) Buret (or burette), that is used to dispense slowly a volume of liquid when a titration process is needed

(4) Glassware best used when greater access to the contents is needed = (C) Beaker, that is basically a very open glass cylinder with a spout

(5) Glassware used to prevent splashing or evaporation = (E) Erlenmeyer flask, that has a small open at the top and is useful when the liquid needs to be swirled as, for example, during a titration.

(6) Glassware used to make accurate solutions = (F) Volumetric flask, that has a long slim neck that provides a higher accuracy when a exact volume of liquid needs to be used for preparation of a solution.
