Boiling Flask

A boiling flask, also known as a boiling or distillation flask, is a type of laboratory glassware designed for heating liquids and conducting distillation processes. It features a round or pear-shaped body with a flat base, which provides stability and allows for even heating of the contents. The flask typically has a narrow neck that can be fitted with various types of stoppers, condensers, or other laboratory equipment.

Key Features:

• Shape: The round or pear shape facilitates uniform heating and minimizes the risk of boiling over. The shape also allows for better mixing and stirring of the contents.
• Material: Made from high-quality borosilicate glass, the boiling flask is resistant to thermal shock and chemical reactions, making it suitable for use with various reagents and solvents.
• Neck: The narrow neck is designed for secure attachment of stoppers, adapters, or condensers, essential for processes such as reflux and distillation.

Boiling flasks are commonly used in chemistry, chemical engineering, and industrial laboratories for boiling, distilling, and mixing liquids in a controlled manner.
