burets
Definition
is a long narrow, calibrated tube with a device at one end to control the flow of liquid. It is a glass tube that is graduated and has a tap on the bottom of it. It is a vertical cylindrical shape.
Term
volumetric flask
Definition
is a piece of laboratory glassware, a type of laboratory flask, calibrated to contain a precise volume at a particular temperature. Volumetric flasks are used for precise dilutions and preparation of standard solutions. it also involves dissolving a solid solute to make a solution of a definite volume. make sure you don't over fill the line and aligned the meniscus with the calibration mark.
