Uses of Laboratory beaker borosil
- Mixing Solutions:
Beakers are used to mix chemical solutions or substances for experiments.
- Heating Liquids:
Borosilicate glass is resistant to high temperatures, making it suitable for heating liquids over a flame or on a hot plate without cracking.
- Measuring Liquids:
Although not as precise as a graduated cylinder, beakers provide rough measurements of liquid volumes.
- Holding Reagents:
Beakers serve as containers to hold various reagents or samples during experiments.
- Pouring Liquids:
The spout on the rim helps pour liquids into other containers with minimal spillage.
- Observation:
Transparent beakers are ideal for visually monitoring chemical reactions or changes during heating or mixing.
- Cooling Solutions:
They can also be used for cooling solutions in ice baths or at room temperature.
