Question

A flask and a beaker each contain the same amount of water. How are they similar? How are they different?

Answer 1

Answer:It's used for all the reasons a beaker is, but has the advantage of a long, narrow neck. The extended neck makes it possible to swirl a solution vigorously without spilling, and it makes the vessel fairly easy to pour.

Explanation: Took the same testt

Answer 2

Now, for other purposes, they are pretty different. Beakers are mostly just meant to hold things, flasks on the other hand are often used for running reactions in and mixing or heating. The long neck makes it much less likely to spill or burst out compared to a beaker. Flasks are really good for swirling by hand for instance.
