Place 5 mL of 2,6-dimethylaniline in a dry 250 mL conical flask. Add 2 mL of glacial acetic, then slowly add 3 mL of chloroacetyl chloride whilst constantly swirling the contents of the flask. Please select the most appropriate type of glassware to measure these volumes.
Beakers and Erlenmeyer flasks are widely used equipment in chemistry labs. They are used to store and mix solutions to carry out chemical reactions.
These vessels provide crude readings. They are not designed to measure volumes. Therefore, they’re used as containers. Please use other type of glassware to start the chemical reaction
Graduate cylinders are specifically made for measuring liquid volumes. They have a fairly high level of accuracy higher than beakers and flasks. They measure liquids within 1%. This means that 100 ml graduated cylinders have 1 ml divisions on them.
Pipettes are volumetric glassware designed to transfer liquids from one container to another during lab a procedure. They are highly accurate pieces of glassware. The graduations on a pipette can measure liquids within a 0.02 ml range. Accordingly, they can be used to measure the required volume to start the chemical synthesis.
