QUANTITATIVELY TRANSFER (adverb/verb)

 

The act of transferring a solid or liquid substance from one container to another without losing any of the material. This allows one to maintain a high level of accuracy in one's data.

Example: pouring 10 mL of 2M NaOH_(aq) from a 50 mL beaker into a 250 mL beaker, and then thoroughly rinsing out the 50 mL beaker with distilled water and pouring the rinsings into the 250 mL beaker will guarantee that every single molecule of NaOH (all 0.02 moles worth) is transferred into the 250 mL beaker. The entire quantity has thus been transferred.
