Question
Instead of using three weighing boats can't we use only one to transfer the metals1,2 and 3 one by one into the graduated cylinders ?

Answers:

It is done, so that, in real laboratory setting, we use different weighing boat for different chemicals, so that there is no cross contamination.

If we practice as one weighing boat here, it doesn't make a difference - but if the practice habit spills over to real life setting lab, it is not desirable.
