What is a weighing bottle in chemistry?
Weighing bottles are laboratory equipment that are used for precise weighing of solids. Although different shapes and profiles are available, weighing bottles are typically cylindrical with flat bottoms. Impermeable seal stoppers on top keep contents unadulterated.

Why is a desiccator used?
Desiccators are sealable enclosures containing desiccants used for preserving moisture-sensitive items such as cobalt chloride paper for another use. A common use for desiccators is to protect chemicals which are hygroscopic or which react with water from humidity. It also requires some time to achieve a low humidity.
What is density bottle?
Density bottle is a small glass bottle which has a glass stopper at its neck. The bottle can store a fixed volume of a liquid. Thus the bottle will contain the same volume of liquid each time when it is filled. It is used to determine the density of a liquid.
What is the weight of empty weighing tube?
The empty balance is tared, then the weighing bottle with cap is placed on the pan and weighed to ±0.0001 g. The weighing bottle is removed in a manner which avoids the transference of oil or other matter from one’s fingers. The cap is likewise removed from the weighing bottle.
What does a burette look like?
A burette is a graduated glass tube with a tap at one end, for delivering known volumes of a liquid, especially in titrations. It is a long, graduated glass tube, with a stopcock at its lower end and a tapered capillary tube at the stopcock’s outlet. A volumetric burette delivers measured volumes of liquid.
What is the working principle of desiccator?
Our desiccators are designed to lower the humidity level, down to 0% RH, inside a cabinet to prevent moisture from damaging the sample being stored. We achieve 0% RH by introducing a desiccant, Nitrogen (N2), into the chamber. Nitrogen serves as an inert gas to replace air where oxidation is not needed.
Why silica gel is used in desiccator?
Since their micro-porous makeup has cavities that are interlocking, the gel has an extremely high area of surface, it makes for a perfect desiccant of high capacity. Because it has a lower vapor pressure than the air that surrounds it, molecules of water can easily adhere to its surface.
How does a density bottle work?
How the Poly Density Bottle Works: Water and isopropanol are soluble with one another in any porportion; they are miscible. The white beads with a lesser density than the liquid mixture float on top, and the blue beads with a greater density sink to the bottom.
What is the another name of relative density bottle?
Specific gravity bottles
Specific gravity bottles determine liquid densities by measuring the difference between an empty and filled bottle and dividing by an equal volume of water to find the specific gravity of the substance. These bottles are also known as a density bottle or relative-density bottles.
What is the advantage of weighing by difference?
Weighing by difference is the most accurate method to measure quantitatively the mass of a solid sample. This procedure involves repetitive weighings of a weighing bottle containing a quantity of solid reagent. As the solid is removed to another vessel, the mass of the weighing bottle contents decreases.
What does weighing mean?
intransitive verb. 1 : to have oneself or one’s possessions (such as baggage) weighed especially : to have oneself weighed in connection with an athletic contest. 2 : to bring one’s weight or influence to bear especially as a participant, contributor, or mediator weighed in with an opinion.
What’s the best way to weigh a bottle?
Weighing Techniques Toploader Direct Weighing With nothing on the pan, set to zero by pressing the “on” button. Place weighing bottle, beaker, or vial on balance and set to zero again. Analytical Balance Use the same procedure as with a toploader, remembering these additional points: Close all the doors before taking measurements.
What should be used in balance and weighing procedures?
For analytical procedures, only weighing boats, weighing bottles or glass or plastic sample tubes should be used.
How is the cap removed from a weighing bottle?
The weighing bottle is removed in a manner which avoids the transference of oil or other matter from one’s fingers. The cap is likewise removed from the weighing bottle. The weighing bottle is tipped above the container to receive the sample and a small amount is allowed to fall out of the weighing bottle.
When to use a weighing boat in chemistry?
Weighing boats are used to transfer a solid directly into a volumetric flask via the neck of the weighing boat: this procedure* is recommended when the chemical is known to be totally soluble in the solvent and allows you to omit the solution preparation stage in a beaker or conical flask.
