Which of the following pieces of laboratory glassware should be used to most accurately measure out a 25.00 ml sample of a solution?
ii. out of a 25 ml graduated cylinder, 150 ml beaker, and a 50 ml erlenmeyer flask which has the least uncertainty (most accurate volume)? explain iii. if you had to accurately measure 20 ml of a liquid which of the three pieces of glassware would you use, 25 ml graduated cylinder, 150 ml beaker or a 50 ml? explain

The correct answer is 25 mL graduated cylinder (it should be used in all the cases)

Explanation:

In order to measure 25.00 ml sample of a solution it should be used a 25 mL graduated cylinder, as it is previously and properly calibrated. The other laboratory glassware, beaker and erlenmeyer, have graduations which are approximate, so they are used when exact volumes are not needed.

ii) graduated cylinder has the least uncertainly. It is more accurate than a beaker or erlenmeyer (to within 1%)

iii) A 25 mL graduated cylinder should be used because it is the most accurate lab glassware (between those were mentioned: beaker, erlenmeyer).
