okay so I'm new to this and I was wondering why is it always demonized water that goes in to fill to the line?? what if you want to measure two liquids??
Deionized water is just the solvent for the solute, this solute can also be a liquid. A volumetric flask is not used to just measure the volume of a liquid, it is used to prepare a solution in which it is exactly known how much solute is present (can be liquid or solid) in that volume of the solution. Of course you could use other solvents than deionized water as it will depend on what you want to dissolve. Hope this is clear as I don't know your background on these kind of subjects.
What about the drops of water that are above the meniscus on the walls of the flask? Will it not change the concentration when inverted?
morehead!
me too
