Why beakers used in lab even it is not that accurate?

Answer 1

A beaker is a simple container for stirring, mixing and heating liquids commonly used in many laboratories. Beakers are generally cylindrical in shape, with a flat bottom. Beakers are available in a wide range of sizes, from one millilitre up to several litres.

Answer 2

Beakers are versatile and practical vessels in the lab due to their ease of use, handling, and versatility in holding a variety of liquids or solids. Although not as accurate as graduated cylinders or volumetric flasks, beakers are useful for general mixing, heating, or storing substances in lab experiments. They are cost-effective and essential for everyday lab work.

Answer 3

The beaker is a container for liquid substances in the laboratory. It is less accurate than the graduated cylinder because its line have bigger spaces/intervals

Answer 4

Beakers are used for holding, transferring, and mixing solutions and chemicals. They can also be used to roughly measure volumes, but the graduations on beakers are only approximate, and thus graduated cylinders or more accurate glassware should be used for better measurements. Beakers and flasks can often be used interchangeable, but many people prefer flasks, as they are less likely to spill.

Answer 5

A Beaker is used to hold and measure substances of any kind!

Answer 6

Beakers are used to store chemicals (for short time), to collect a solution from a filtration apparatus, to realize a titration, to realize a chemical reaction, etc.

Answer 7

Beakers are not graduated or the volumes are only estimated.

Answer 8

They can be but they are usually not calibrated.
