Fill a mug or a container with warm tap water. You are using warm tap water because, tap water contains microorganisms which will help flush out the chemicals and it is warm ,because warm water can cleanly stabilize your pipet so it is ready for it's next use. Pinch your pipet inside the water so it fills up to about 15-20 milliliters. Squirt in in the sink. Do the same thing for a few times. Atleast 5 times. Now your pipet is clean and ready for its next use.Why is it important to clean your pipet? It can contain chemicals from your previous experiment which will give inaccurate or wrong results and data.

Why do you never pipet by mouth in the chemistry lab?
Pipetting by mouth risks ingesting the chemical you are trying to suck into the pipet. Even if the solution is harmless, you can't be sure that the pipet itself is clean. Who knows what chemical was in it last? Instead, use a pipet bulb or syringe to draw up the solution. These are generally available in any laboratory where you might need to use a pipet.

What is the pipet use for?
In one type of experiment, a pipet is used to distribute DNA information. The process is used in Gel Electrophoresis. With the pipet you syphon the DNA material and the chemicals used to bring out the genetic information and you squirt it into the notches in the gel. That is how a pipet is used in one instance.

How do you calibrate a pipet?
A pipet is calibrated by pouring a liquid of known volume into it and taking the reading in order to determine by how much it might be deviating. This technique is regarded as a quantitative method.
The effect of vapor condensation in the neck a beryl type pipet have on the reported molar mass?
it would give a higher molar mass b/c we are actually measuring the condensed liquid so the measured pipet would give higher mass. the higher the pipet is the higher molar mass.
Which tool can measure only one quantity of liquid?
pipet
