B
Test tube
C
Burette
D
Volumetric flask
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the purpose of a hot water bath: it is used to gently heat samples by immersing them in hot water, providing even and controlled heating without direct flame contact.
Consider the characteristics of each piece of equipment: a beaker is a wide-mouthed container that can hold water and samples, allowing easy immersion and heat transfer.
A test tube is narrow and small, making it less suitable for holding enough water to create a stable hot water bath.
A burette is designed for precise liquid dispensing, not for heating or holding water baths.
A volumetric flask is used for precise volume measurements and is not suitable for heating or creating a water bath due to its narrow neck and shape.
