A beaker is a glassware used to hold and measure liquids. It can typically measure up to its maximum volume capacity, which is usually marked on the side of the beaker in milliliters or liters.

How much does a beaker measure?

A beaker is a cylindrical glass container used in laboratories to measure and hold liquids. Beakers come in various sizes, typically ranging from 50 mL to 2000 mL in capacity. The volume of liquid a beaker can hold is indicated on the side of the beaker in milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm^3).


What is a narrow beaker called?

The majority of beakers are not narrow. However, there is one type of beaker called the Berzelius beaker that is known for its narrowness.


How and why would you use a beaker to measure the density of an object?

A beaker filled with liquid can be used to measure the volume of a non-soluble solid, or of a liquid. If the mass of the solid or liquid sample has been previously determined, the liquid (usually water) displaced from a filled beaker will provide the volume of the sample. Mass divided by volume gives the density. One of the early uses of the process was to identify counterfeit gold coins. In order to weigh the same as real gold coins, fakes would have to be thicker, and therefore have greater volume.


What does a beaker do in a science lab?

A beaker is a container used for holding, mixing, and heating liquids during experiments in a science lab. It is often used to measure and pour liquids, as well as to observe chemical reactions.


What is the difference between a graduated beaker and beaker?

A graduated beaker has markings on the side to measure volume accurately, while a regular beaker does not have these markings. Graduated beakers are typically used when precise volume measurements are needed, while regular beakers are used for general mixing and holding liquids.
