Question

A 50 ml volumetric flask is calibrated to the _______ and will hold exactly _________ when filled to the calibration line: 0.01 ml, 100.00 ml 0.01 ml, 50.00 ml 0.01 ml. 50.000 ml 0.01 ml, 50.0 ml 0.1 ml, 50.00 ml 0.1 ml, 50.0 ml 0.1 ml, 50 ml

Answer 1

Answer : Option B) 0.01 mL, 50.00 mL

Explanation :

A 50  mL volumetric flask is calibrated to the 0.01 mL and will hold exactly 50.00 mL when filled to calibration line.

Every volumetric flask is calibrated with 0.01 mL so that when the liquid is filled till the calibration line the flask should hold 50.00 mL fluid in it. It gives precise and accurate measurements for the experiments. Calibration is a must for every glassware which ensures less experimental errors.

Answer 2

Answer;

0.1 mL, 50.00 mL

A 50 ml volumetric flask is calibrated to the 0.1 mL and will hold exactly 50.00 mL when filled to the calibration line.

Explanation;

A volumetric flask 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.

Calibration is a comparison between a known measurement (the standard) and the measurement using your instrument. The accuracy of the standard should be ten times the accuracy of the measuring device being tested.
