range of school alcohol thermometers
-10degC to 110degC
what is marked/graduated beaker for
- use primary to hold or store liquids instead of measuring volume of liquids
- but can only hold approximate volume of liquids like approximately 100cm3
what is pipette for
- measures very accurate fixed volume, e.g. 20cm3 and 25cm3
- cannot measure odd volumes like 21cm3 or 25.5cm3
what is burette for
measures very accurate variable volumes between 0,00cm3 to 50.00cm3
what is volumetric flask for
- measures accurate fixed volumes that are larger like 100cm3 or 250cm3
- commonly used for preparing a solution with known concentration
what is measuring cylinder for
measures accurate variable volumes
remarks for marked/graduated gas syringe
typical gas syringes in the laboratory measures volumes up to 100cm3
common gases to collect and dry
- ammonia
- carbon dioxide
- chlorine
- hydrogen
- hydrogen chloride
- oxygen
- sulfur dioxide
