What is Volumetric flask?
[[File:10mL Messkolben mit Schliff A.jpg|thumb|300px|A 10 ml volumetric flask (without glass stopper,3D model).]] A '''volumetric flask''' ('''vol flask''' for short) is a type of [[laboratory glassware]]. It is used to hold and measure accurate amounts of [[liquid]]. It is shaped like a [[Florence flask]], but has a flatter bottom. A volumetric flask has a tall, narrow neck with a stopper that can be used to close the opening at the top. There is a line on the neck to show how much to fill the flask. Volumetric flasks are made in many sizes, from a few [[litre|milliliters]] to [[litre|liters]]. They are often used to make liquid [[solution]]s. The neck is narrow to make measurements more exact when making a solution.
