Sulfur is an important element.

Dilute sulfuric acid is used to make salts known as sulfates.

A method consisting of three steps is used to make zinc sulfate from zinc carbonate.
step 1 Add an excess of zinc carbonate to $20 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$ of $0.4 \mathrm{~mol} / \mathrm{dm}^{3}$ dilute sulfuric acid until the reaction is complete.
step 2 Filter the mixture.
step 3 Heat the filtrate until a saturated solution forms and then allow it to crystallise.

Name a suitable piece of apparatus for measuring $20 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$ of dilute sulfuric acid in step 1.
