Chemistry Equipment Questions

[DSNCSUN]

Hello everyone;

I have been having difficulties on questions asking which equipment to use for measuring a volume including burets, transfer and other sorts of pipettes, graduated cylinder, etc.. This may be an easier sort of question for a lot of you out there but for some reason it's confusing me. Thanks ahead of time

I like to think of them as if I were in a lab setting. It helps me remember which tools I've used. It might help for you too. i.e. burets are used for titrations

how do you differentiate between volumetric flask and buret and what about graduated cylinder?

Probably the amount of liquid you are transporting
