Question 2 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

Which is the best reason for choosing the beaker for heating the solution?

Answer
A
The beaker is the only container that can withstand high temperatures.
B
The beaker's wide mouth allows the thermometer to rest against the side.
C
The beaker will not tip over when placed on the hot plate.
D
The beaker is unbreakable.

Explanation

A beaker has a broad, flat base, so it sits stably on a hot plate and is less likely to tip over while the solution is heated. It is not unbreakable, and other heat-resistant containers can also withstand high temperatures.
