Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.

Given an iron sulfate solution of unknown concentration in a beaker, why should the beaker be dry but the conical flask that will be used during titration can be wet

Accepted Answer

The beaker containing the iron sulfate solution should be dry to avoid diluting the solution, which would affect the accuracy of the titration. The conical flask can be wet because the water will not react with the titrant or analyte during the titration.
