They both do something :)
(the clue's in the name) One is conical and one is round-bottomed. A conical flask is better for sitting on a work surface as its base is flat. A round-bottomed flask is more often suspended i.e. over a heater of some sort.
a volumetric flask is a volume calibrated glass ware. It has a mark that indicates a certain volume e.g a mark at 100 ml, unlike graduated glass ware. It's also an accurate measure glass ware, i,e can be used in spectrophotometry. See image on related link
A conical flask on the other hand is graduated glassware But it's NOT accurate which means that when you measure a certain volume , it may vary a few mls above or below the chosen volume.
A volumetric flask is more accurate than a graduated cylinder. The only advantage the graduated cylinder has to a volumetric flask in measuring volume is that the graduated cylinder can measure many different volumes, whereas a volumetric flask only measures one volume. (You can have different volumetric flasks of different volumes, but you can only use it for that one volume. I.e. a 100mL volumetric flask can only accurately measure 100mL, and a 5mL volumetric flask can only accurately measure 5mL)
A Conical Flask is conical and a beaker is a cylinder.
A conical Flask has a long neck for stopping anything big to go through and a beaker has a lip.
Conical flasks (or Erlenmeyer flasks) are preferred because there's less chance of splashing. Beakers have wide mouths and flasks do not.
Both are used to measure and hold chemicals i think :)
everybody is an idiot in this page
they are the same
The correct spelling is conical flask. A conical flask is a type of flask that is used in laboratories. They have a conical body, flat bottom, and cylindrical neck.
A conical flask has a triangular, pyramidal shape when viewed from the side. At the top, it forms a small cylinder. | | / \ / \ / \ /______\
I alsys used a conical flask without any graduations- pyrex for preference- less liable to break.
The accuracy of different types of pipettes and volumetric flasks is strictly specified by suitabe standards; also they are labelled.
Volumetric flask - used to prepare a standard solution in laboratory
they are the same
As the pipette is far more accurate than a flask by a factor 10 to 100 one should NOT use a volumetric flask except for standard volumes over 100 ml.

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

It is a conical flask
A conical flask is used to hold chemicals and to make your chemical.
