The glassware that provides the most accurate measurement of density is the volumetric flask. It has a percent error of 0 and deviates the least, causing it to be the most precise as well. The least accurate glassware is the beaker. This glassware has a standard deviation of 50.91% and a standard deviation of 0.015. I can conclude that in order from left to right, the volumetric flask is the most precise, followed by the Erlenmeyer flask, beaker, and the graduated cylinder based of their standard deviation. 2. The cases where an Erlenmeyer flask should be used is for mixing solutions, titration, or holding chemicals. This is because you can always be precise of how much solution you have. It is not ideal for measuring because it only has one measurement. a. A graduated cylinder would be used to mix a solution and measure volume. A graduated cylinder has numerous ticks to measure various amounts of given substance unlike a flask. b. A beaker could be used to hold solutions, chemical reactions, volume measurement or holding mixtures. A beaker is the ‘bowl’ in chemistry. You can give an estimate of how much substance you need but you can never be entirely accurate. This glassware is used to hold things.
