See the two Related Questions to the left for a description of each one. They are different in both shape and function.
Florence flasks have round bottoms and no gradations indicating volume. Erlenmeyer flasks are conical in shape and have gradations depicting volume on the side.

∙ 16y agoAn Erlenmeyer flask is a widely used type of laboratory container which features a conical base with a cylindrical neck. The conical flask is similar to the beaker, but is distinguished by its narrow neck. The neck allows the flask to be stoppered using rubber bungs or cotton wool. The conical shape allows the contents to be swirled or stirred during an experiment. The narrow neck keep contents from spilling. The smaller neck also slows evaporative loss better than a beaker. A beaker is usually cylindrical in shape.

Glad you are using big words. Erlenmeyer was evidentally the inventor or manufacturer, rather like the Liebig Condenser or the Mannheim type slide rule. One notes German nationality in all of these!

Why is a round bottomed flask used in fractional distillation rather than a flat bottomed flask?
Flat bottom flasks (Erlenmeyer and Florence flasks) are used for heating all the time.
What apparatus used to observe reactions?
Berzelius and Erlenmeyer flasks, test tubes, crucibles, cups, etc.
What are the glass wares used in analytical chemistry?
Examples: Berzelius and Erlenmeyer beakers, burettes, pipettes, filtering devices, graduated conical flasks, funnels, small containers, graduated cylinders and others.
What is the purpose of the Erlenmeyer flask?
Erlenmeyer flasks are used by scientists to mix and stir solutions. They curved necks help prevent leakage and spillage. They can also be used to culture bacteria as they can be placed on a shaker incubator.
What is the function of flask in chemistry?
A flask is essentially a bottle. * In a labs, glass flasks (Erlenmeyer, Florence) are used for mixing heating and storing solutions. Sometimes they are graduated to show the volume of material that they contain.* Vacuum flasks are more robist, ususally with a side arm to remove gases * Insulated flasks keep things cold like liquid nitrogen

What are some of the functions of Erlenmeyer flask?
Erlenmeyer flasks are shaped conically so that they can be used to mix fluids with a lesser chance of spilling than a beaker.

Berzelius and Erlenmeyer flasks, test tubes, crucibles, cups, etc.
What is the difference between an Erlenmeyer flask and a Florence flask?
What is laboratory Erlenmeyer flask?
Erlenmeyer flask is a conical flask made from glass or plastic, uset to make chemical reactions, volumetric titrations, to collect fluids from filtration, distillation, etc. Some times these flaks are graduated.
What scientist uses a Erlenmeyer flask?
Many scientists use Erlenmeyer flasks, but the most obvious users are chemists and biologists.
What are the two names of Science Flasks?
Erlenmeyer Flask & Volumetric Flask.
What is an erlenmeyer flask and its function?

Whats the difference between an Erlenmeyer flask and a Florence flask?
What is a lab flask for?
there are many types of flasks present in chemistry lab. some can be accurate for volume measurment others for some different functions as storage for example flasks commonly present is " volumetric flask- erlenmeyer flask - florence flask " the volumetric is accurate method for volume measurement erlenmeyer or conical florence or rounded has the same functions "storage ,, stirring ,,heating ,,mixing " the only difference is the rounded one is less stable as the base is smaller
