Question 8

A student needs to prepare a standard solution by dissolving a precise mass of solute in a specific volume of solvent. Which apparatus should be used to ensure the final volume is exact?

Accepted Answer

Volumetric flask

Question 9

Which apparatus is best for filtering a solid from a liquid in a mixture?

Accepted Answer

Funnel

Question 10

A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid. If a student reads the meniscus at the top rather than the bottom, what is the likely result?

Accepted Answer

The measured volume will be too high.

Question 11

Which apparatus is most suitable for mixing chemicals when splashing or evaporation must be minimized?

Accepted Answer

Erlenmeyer flask

Question 12

A scientist needs to transfer a solid chemical from a container to a balance for weighing. Which apparatus should be used?

Accepted Answer

Spatula

Question 13

Which apparatus is best for measuring the volume of a liquid with moderate accuracy, but not for preparing standard solutions?

Accepted Answer

Graduated cylinder

Question 14

A student is performing a solvent extraction to separate a compound from a mixture. Which apparatus should be used?

Accepted Answer

Separatory funnel

Question 15

Which apparatus is most appropriate for holding and heating small quantities of solid chemicals?

Accepted Answer

Test tube

Question 16
