Introduction Commonly used in chemistry for reflux applications, such as Sechelt extraction; provides efficient cooling and condensation; ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and environmental industries; can be used to extract essential oils from plants, determine crude fat content, conduct laboratory-scale...
Introduction prevents internal short-circuiting of electrons. Internal short-circuiting implies the movement of electrons from the anode to cathode through the electrolyte, which dissipates the chemical energy without providing electrical potential in the external circuit. When the electrolyte is solid,...
Introduction Vapor that passes the thermometer condenses in the condenser, a double-walled tube that is cooled by water flowing through the outer layer, and drips into the receiver. Before moving on, let us look at benefits and drawbacks to...

It was later expanded in the 1930s to include kitchenware products made ofsoda–lime glassand other materials.Its name has become famous for making...
Introduction Lab glass separatory funnels is a variety of equipment used in scientific work, traditionally made of glass. Glass may be blown, bent, cut, molded, or formed into many sizes and shapes. It is commonly used in chemistry, biology,...
Introduction Kaolinite(/ˈkeɪ.ələˌnaɪt,-lɪ-/KAY-ə-lə-nyte, -lih-; also calledkaolin)is aclay mineral, with the chemical compositionAl2Si2O5(OH)4. It is a layeredsilicate mineral, with onetetrahedralsheet of silica (SiO4) linked throughoxygenatomsto oneoctahedralsheet ofalumina(AlO6). Kaolinite is a soft, earthy, usually white, mineral (dioctahedral phyllosilicateclay), produced by the chemical...
Introduction Fluoxetineis aselective serotonin reuptake inhibitor(SSRI) antidepressant. Fluoxetine inhibits the uptake of serotonin by a nerve cells (neurons) and helps people with depression, panic, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Fluoxetine is a prescription medicine used to treatmajor depressive disorder, bulimia...
Introduction Hexanenitrilebelongs to the class of organic compounds known as nitriles. Nitriles are compounds having the structure RC#N; thus C-substituted derivatives of hydrocyanic acid, HC#N. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on hexanenitrile. 1....
Introduction Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a popular, widely-used polymer consisting of repeated ethylene glycol units (Wang et al., 2022). Due to its versatility, tunable properties and well-established safety profile, it plays an important role in various fields (Jafarpour,...
Introduction Round Bottom Flasks 2000ml are spherical flasks, made of borosilicate glass (or rarer PTFE), with one or more ground glass joint necks. Usually, the main neck has a larger diameter than the other necks, though flasks with equal-diameter...
