Liquids are heated in a:
a. TEST TUBE
b. BEAKER
c. FLASK
HEATING LIQUIDS
a.) TEST TUBE
Hold the test tube with a _____________ and __________ the test tube about ______ degrees from the horizontal, then apply a small flame __________ the liquid surface, and agitate the test tube from side to side. Do not point the test tube in the direction of anyone.
TEST TUBE HOLDER; INCLINE; 30; BELOW
HEATING LIQUIDS
b.) BEAKER
Place a _____________ in the beaker or use __________________ or ______________ to reduce the bumping of the liquid. A _____________ is placed over the iron ring to support the beaker and to even out the heat applied to the beaker.
STIRRING ROD; BROKEN PORCELAIN; GLASS BEADS; WIRE GAUZE
HEATING LIQUIDS
c.) FLASK
______ the flask with the solution over a small flame. The flask can be held with a ____________ or a strip of paper folded several times, as in the drawing. A set-up similar to the beaker can be used.
SWIRL; UNIVERSAL CLAMP
When an insoluble solid is dense or heavy, it settles quickly to the bottom of the container. The clear or _____________ that separates is carefully poured out without disturbing the solid. What is this technique called?
DECANTATION
If the solid is fine or does not quickly settle down, what process is preferred?
FILTRATION
This process or technique separates a mixture’s precipitate or insoluble solid components from the liquid component. This technique uses filter paper and a runner to hold the filter paper.
FILTRATION
In filtration, where should the tip of the funnel be at the beaker?
TOUCHES THE SIDE OF THE BEAKER
