What else can I help you with?
Can you use a erlenmeyer flask to calculate the density of a liquid?
You can, but the volume will not be as accurate as using a graduated cylinder, and will probably give you an inaccurate density.
10 Laboratory equipment?
Microscope Bunsen burner Erlenmeyer flask Beaker Petri dish Thermometer Graduated cylinder Pipette Centrifuge Hot plate
What instrument which would be more accurate for measuring the volume of a liquid?
A graduated cylinder would be more accurate for measuring the volume of a liquid compared to a beaker. This is because graduated cylinders have more precise volume markings and allow for more accurate readings due to their narrow and uniform shape.
Is a flask bigger than a graduated cylinder?
It depends I've seen Erlenmeyer flasks for 10 ml and 5 liters and a spread in cylinders of pretty much the same range. Whether one is bigger than the other really depends on which ones you compare.
Why is the Erlenmeyer flask written with a capital letter?
The Erlenmeyer flask is named after the German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer, and proper nouns like names are typically capitalized in English. In scientific literature, it is important to maintain consistency and accuracy in naming conventions, hence the capitalization of "Erlenmeyer."
What does the Erlenmeyer flask measure?
A graduated Erlenmeyer flask can measure a volume.
Can you use a erlenmeyer flask to calculate the density of a liquid?
You can, but the volume will not be as accurate as using a graduated cylinder, and will probably give you an inaccurate density.
Why is an Erlenmeyer Flask called Erlenmeyer Flask?
The Erlenmeyer flask was designed by the German chemist Richard August Carl Emil Erlenmeyer (28 June 1825 - 22 January 1909).
What is the accurate apparatus to measure volume of water?
Depending upon the amount of substance you are using and what it is, you could use a graduated cylinder, Erlenmeyer flask, or a beaker.
What unit of measurement does a Beaker or Erlenmeyer flask use?
Milliliters, sometimes liters
What is laboratory Erlenmeyer flask?
Erlenmeyer flask is a conical flask made from glass or plastic, uset to make chemical reactions, volumetric titrations, to collect fluids from filtration, distillation, etc. Some times these flaks are graduated.
What is the name of the inventor of the Erlenmeyer flask?
Emil Erlenmeyer created Erlenmeyer flask in 1861.

What is the history of the erlenmeyer flask?
The Erlenmeyer flask is named after the German chemist, Emil Erlenmeyer, who developed the instrument in 1861.
What is erlenmeyer flask its uses?
Erlenmeyer flask is a conical flask made from glass or plastic, sometimes graduated or with a stopcock; uses: - to contain liquids or powders - to realize chemical reactions - it is the preferred flask for titration - heating of liquids (only in Pyrex glass) See also the link below.
What is the difference between a graduated cylinder and a Erlenmeyer yer flask?
A graduated cylinder is a type of glassware used primarily for the measurement of liquids. It features a tall cylindrical body with graduations on the side, with a larger diameter disk at the bottom for stability. The top of the cylinder may or may not have a lip, but generally has a pour spout. Graduated cylinders are typically made of glass or plastic, and are available in many sizes. An Erlenmeyer flask, in contrast, features a cone-shaped body that tapers inward to a cylindrical neck with a small lip (but no pour spout). These flasks are typically used for mixing, because they can be "swirled" by hand with little danger of spillage, and for heating, because they can be clamped to a bench stand and have a large amount of surface area at the base to transfer heat to the solution contained within. Erlenmeyer flasks generally have gradations on the side (the tapered part, but not on the neck), but are not as finely graduated as are graduated cylinders.
Why is a graduated cylinder more accurate than a flask?
A graduated cylinder has a constant diameter and a printed scale on its side that indicates volume inside the graduated cylinder for any given liquid level. A flask has none of these advantages.
