Beakers are for very short term storage of chemicals. They are graduated, but not accurately, so they are impractical for meaningful measurements. A beaker's graduations are estimates at best; to be accurate, use a graduated cylinder for measuring liquid volume.

A graduated beaker has markings on the side to measure volume accurately, while a regular beaker does not have these markings. Graduated beakers are typically used when precise volume measurements are needed, while regular beakers are used for general mixing and holding liquids.


Which is more precise a graduated cylinder or a beaker?

A graduated cylinder is more precise than a beaker because it has markings for measuring volume with greater accuracy, typically down to 0.1 mL increments. Beakers are less precise as they do not have these precise markings and are used for general mixing and heating.

What is the error can be formed using beaker?

An error that can be formed when using a beaker is inaccurate volume measurements, as the markings on the beaker may not be precise.
