What is the maximum amount of liquid that a conical flask can hold?

that depends on the volume/size of the conical flask, the usual size would hold 250ml. theres some 1L, and even 50ml (possible smaller) conical flask.


What is a conical flask used for?

An Erlenmeyer flask, commonly known as a conical flask or E-flask, is a widely used type oflaboratory flask which features a conical base and a cylindrical neck. They are usually marked on the side (graduated) to indicate the approximate volume of their contents. It is named after the German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer, who created it in 1861.


Why do you use conical flask in the titration process rather than beaker?

It prevent the solution from spelling


What is the difference between beaker and an Erlenmeyer flask?


Why is the conical flask only rinsed with distilled water in the titration procedure?

Yes. By adding water to rinse, you will be changing the concentration of the thing you are titrating, and so your calculation will be off. If you have material on the walls of the flask, just gently stir the flask and let the solution in the flask wash anything off the walls. I do not believe this is true. Once you add an amount of reactant into your flask adding more water will not change the number of moles of reactant that are present in the flask. The titrant will react in the mole ratio for that particular reaction so water doesn't play a role. You can rinse the flask and even use water to get part of a drop into your flask for a more accurate titration.
