Why is a beaker better than a dropper?
It depends on the inteded use of the particular apparatus. A beaker is better than a dropper if you want to dissolve stuff and mix it. But a dropper is better than a beaker if you want to transfer small amounts of liquid. I pipet is better for measuring liquids than is a beaker or a dropper because it is more precise. That’s true when compared to a graduated cylinder as well. Pipet is the most accurate and precise. And so on. Na is better than zinc if you are making table salt, but not as good as Zn if you want to plate a piece of metal.
