Do you know what the glassware in this photo is called or what it is used for? Could you identify a retort, Soxhlet extractor, or Shlenk flask? I've been adding to the chemistry glassware gallery so you can look up an unfamiliar piece of glassware and see how it's used. Once I get the glassware gallery fully stocked, so to speak, I'll make up a quiz so you can test your glassware knowledge.
Hey,
I was attempting to organize the chem lab at my college, and I came across the following piece of glassware. None of my profs can figure out what it is or what it might be for. Any thoughts? http://img3.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1000754ms4.jpg
There are gradations along the horizontal arm, but without any apparent units…
Looks like a density bottle,these are used in physics.when filled with liquid up to top of stopper,the bottle always contains the same volume.you need an old physics book 1970s to see the method.Corinna (Laboratory technician)
