Question

in the process of evaporation, which one of the following pieces of laboratory apparatus would NOT be used? (a) filter funnel (b) bunsen burner (c) wire gauze (d) evaporating dish. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Evaporating dish is the answer

Answer 2

In the process of evaporation, the laboratory apparatus that would NOT be used is a filter funnel. Thus, the correct option is (a).

Explanation:

• Evaporation is a process in which a liquid changes into vapour.
• It is done by heating the liquid.
• To perform the process of evaporation in a laboratory, various laboratory apparatuses are used such as bunsen burner, tripod stand, wire gauze, evaporating dish, etc.
• Bunsen burner is used to provide heat.
• A tripod stand is used to keep the evaporating dish over the flame of the burner.
• The evaporating dish cannot be kept directly on the tripod stand, therefore, a wire gauze is used on which the evaporating dish is kept.
• Filter funnel has no use in the process of evaporation. Therefore, it will not be used in the process.
