A burette, or buret, is a uniform-bore glass tube with fine gradations and a stopcock at the bottom, used especially in laboratory procedures for accurate fluid dispensing and measurement.
The buret is commonly used in titrations to measure precisely how much liquid is used.

∙ 12y agoA buret (burett, burette) is used to dispense known amounts of a liquid reagent in experiments for which precision is necessary, such as a titration experiment. Burettes are extremely accurate (a class B 50 cm3 burette has a tolerance of 0.1 cm3 and 0.06 cm3 if it is class A).
Liquid is placed into the burette a stopcock is opened at the bottom and liquid is discarded until a suitable level for starting measurement is reached. The stopcock is opened when the receptacle of the liquid is placed under the burette and the appropriate amount of liquid is dispensed.

What is the use of a Geissler buret?
A Geissler buret (not to be confused with a Geissler tube, which is something else entirely) is used to deliver a variable but controllable and measurable quantity of solution. For those who don't know the term, the Geissler buret is the one with the built-in stopcock at the bottom as opposed to the kind with the flexible tubing attachment at the bottom.
What is a burette clamp and how is it used?
It's used for clamping a buret, of course. I can actually think of three distinct pieces of equipment that could reasonably be called a "buret clamp", and I'm not certain which of them you mean. One of them is a pinch clamp used to clamp the outflow tube (a rubber or plastic tube from the bottom of certain types of burets). Another one is sometimes called a tube clamp, and is a piece of hardware used to secure a glass tube of some kind (such as a buret, but also a test tube or parts of a vacuum manifold) to a metal stand or framework. Finally, there's a specialized spring-loaded piece of hardware used specifically for burets, which holds and supports them in two places on the tube (the tube clamp clamps onto the buret in a single location on the tube).
What measuring instrument is used in titration?
Titration involves the use of a buret and also an Erlenmeyer flask or beaker (where it is measured).

Why do you take acid in buret?
because ,we don't suck the acid ,pipet used for sucking ,so we take base in pipet and take acid in buret.

You are not supposed to use buret reagent to detect sugar carbohydrates in a solution. Buret reagent is used to detect proteins. Try using iodine ( I2KI)
