Description
A filtration flask, also known as a vacuum flask or filtering flask, is a piece of laboratory glassware used primarily for filtering liquids. It typically features a side arm that can be connected to a vacuum source to assist in the filtration process, making it more efficient.
Key Features:
- Material: Often made of borosilicate glass, which can withstand temperature changes.
- Side Arm: Facilitates the connection to a vacuum line for faster filtration.
- Graduations: Some flasks may have markings to measure liquid volume.
Common Uses:
- Filtration: Separating solids from liquids using filter paper or a membrane.
- Vacuum Filtration: Speeding up the process by applying vacuum pressure.
- Chemical Reactions: Collecting filtrates in synthetic and analytical chemistry.
