Description

This object is a 1000 mL round-bottomed boiling flask with a side arm at a 75° angle from the distillation column.

Distilling flasks are used to separate or purify mixtures liquids with different boiling points. The flask at the bottom contains the liquid and the round bottom ensures uniform heat distribution. The downward-sloping, inclined side-arm captures the heated vapor from below and sends it to a separate container to collect the cooled liquid.
