We want to explain what would be the appropriate use of the beaker in a precipitation lab.
First, a precipitation lab is an experiment where we study a given precipitation reaction. Where we dissolve two solvents in water, then we mix them and in the process we get a precipitant and a solution (this is just an example).
Assuming that we are dissolving on test tubes, the first use of the beaker is pouring water in the tubes. The beaker allows us to measure the volume of water inside of it, so it is really helpful to know how much water are we pouring inside the test tubes.
Once we have the two test tubes ready, we can combine them. Then using a filter above a beaker, we can pour the mix through the filter, in this way the precipitate is filtered and only the solution pass.
This would allow us to measure how much volume of solution we have at the end.
These are the main two uses of the beaker in these type of experiments.
