Question

The protocol for a given lab experiment specifies that you should prepare 100 mL of a 0.10 M (mol/L) aqueous solution of NaNO3. You use a tared balance to deliver a given mass of solid into a weighing boat. To which piece of laboratory glassware should you transfer the solid to finish preparing the solution

Answer 1

It should be transferred to a Beaker to finish preparing the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

NaNO₃ is sodium Nitrate. It is a salt that is soluble in water hence it's aqueous solution can be prepared by dissolving it in water.

A beaker is a laboratory glassware that is used for various functions; one of which includes the preparation of reagents or aqueous solutions of a compound. In the example narrated in the question, the measured NaNO₃ solid can be transferred to a 100 mL or 200 mL beaker and then added to it is the desired volume of water to make the solution 100 mL. This solution can then be stirred with a "glass rod"
