CHEM 053 : Skill Building Exercise Tranferring and Measuing Liquids .pdf
Document Summary
You have begun to encounter different types of glassware in lab. Below is a little bit more information about each one: Graduated cylinders are used to measure a volume of liquid contained. In your drawer, you have two sizes, 50 ml and 10 ml. If your volume is exactly 41 ml, you would record a volume of 41. 0 ml in your lab notebook. Transfer pipets are used to transfer a small amount of liquid. These are kept in a drawer by the windows. There are also glass transfer pipets with a removable rubber bulb. These are used in the organic labs, but not in general chemistry. Volumetric flasks have a larger bottom with a long, thin neck. The accuracy of each is slightly different (from. 0. 05 to 0. 2 ml) and will be found on the neck of the flask. This is the most accurate measuring device we have for those specific volumes. How to use a volumetric flask:
