Question

What would be the difference in precision and accuracy if I chose to use a graduated cylinder instead of a buret? Explain.

Step 1

Solution

Beakers, chemist flasks, dropping funnels and therefore the like aren't volumetrical instruments. they're not exactly graduated, and their scales serve solely as approximate guides. Therefore, the beaker that's mentioned within the question is true out.

Graduated cylinders, volumetrical flasks, bulb pipettes, graduated pipettes, and burettes area unit volumetrical instruments. they're calibrated; but, like all different instrument, they solely have a restricted accuracy and preciseness.
