i) Round bottom flask
ii) Reagent bottle
iii) Pipette

Answer 1

i) A round bottom flask is used for heating sufficient quantities of liquids. It cannot be used to store liquids as it has a round bottom, and hence cannot be placed on flat surfaces.

ii) A reagent bottle is a large container used to store chemicals. To store chemicals sensitive to light, a dark-coloured reagent bottle must be used.

iii) A pipette is used to accurately measure and dispense fixed amounts of liquids. For example, a 5 ml pipette can measure only 5 ml of a liquid.
