Description

Beakers and conical flasks are two common types of laboratory glassware used for measuring and containing liquids.

A beaker is a cylindrical-shaped glass or plastic container with a flat bottom, a spout for pouring, and a lip for holding. It is used for mixing, stirring, heating, and storing liquids. Beakers come in various sizes, typically ranging from 50 mL to several liters, and are marked with volume graduations for accurate measurement.

A conical flask, also known as an Erlenmeyer flask, is a cone-shaped glass or plastic container with a narrow neck and a flat bottom. It is used for containing, mixing, and heating liquids. The narrow neck allows for easy swirling and mixing of liquids without spilling, while the flat bottom ensures stability on a flat surface. Conical flasks also come in various sizes, typically ranging from 50 mL to several liters, and are marked with volume graduations for accurate measurement.
