Preparing Standard Solutions
Volumetric flasks are often used to prepare standard solutions of known concentrations. The precise volume markings on the flask allow scientists to measure and mix accurate quantities of solute and solvent to achieve a specific concentration.
Dilution of Solutions
Volumetric flasks are employed in diluting solutions to desired concentrations. By accurately measuring a concentrated solution and diluting it to a known volume in the volumetric flask, scientists can achieve the desired concentration for experiments, analyses, or other applications.
It's important to note that volumetric flasks are designed for specific volumes, such as 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, etc., and should be used for measuring those volumes with high precision.
