When can an Erlenmeyer flask be used instead of a beaker?

Answer 1

I my experience the Erlenmeyer flask is better for certain things than others.... what I mean is that is has labeled measurements on the side and the increments are based on the size of the flask but the volumetric flask is better is you want to dilute a solution at a certain volume to find....molarity

they both have good qualities it just depends on what you want to use it for.

Answer 2

This is a conical flask from glass or plastic, frequently used in all chemical laboratories; it is recommended to collect filtrates, as a labware for a chemical reaction, it is used for titration, etc.

Answer 3

An Erlenmeyer flask is typically used instead of a beaker when you need to perform reactions that involve swirling or mixing as the narrow neck helps prevent splashes. Erlenmeyer flasks are also commonly used for titrations due to their conical shape which allows for easier monitoring of volume changes.
