What situation do you use a volumetric flask, conical flask, pipette and graduated cylinder? explain your answer from the accuracy aspects of these apparatus.

When only rough approximations are needed, we use a conical flask.

When we want to measure liquid volumes to an accuracy of within about 1%, we use the graduated cylinders.  They are for also used general purpose, but not for sensitive quantitative analysis.

When extreme precise or accurate measurements are needed for dilution or preparation of liquid samples, we use the volumetric flask to contain it.

If we are preparing to perform titration, we will have to use a pipette to transfer very accurate amounts of sample. 

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
