Distillation Flask with Side Arm is a specialized piece of laboratory glassware designed for use in distillation processes. Made from chemically resistant borosilicate glass, this flask features a round or pear-shaped body with a side arm outlet for vapor to pass through to the condenser. It serves as the container in which liquid mixtures are heated and vaporized, enabling separation based on boiling points. The side arm allows vapors to exit efficiently while minimizing the risk of leaks or contamination. This flask is essential in organic synthesis, chemical purification, and analytical laboratories, facilitating precise and safe distillation operations.
