Question

Why do we use round bottom flask for determining the boiling point of water,draw a labelled diagram and explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Round-bottom flasks (also called round-bottomed flasks or RB flasks) are types of flasks having spherical bottoms used as laboratory glassware, mostly for chemical or biochemical work.

• [1] They are typically made of glass for chemical inertness; and in modern days, they are usually made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass.

There is at least one tubular section known as the neck with an opening at the tip. Two or three-necked flasks are common as well. Round bottom flasks come in many sizes, from 5 mL to 20 L, with the sizes usually inscribed on the glass. In pilot plants even larger flasks are encountered.
