Great French chemist who helped found the sciences of microbiology and immunology and expounded the germ theory of disease. Pasteur's famous experiments on putrefaction (decay), carried out in 1862, finally disproved the ancient theory of spontaneous generation. To address the criticism leveled at Spallanzani's early experiments, namely that boiling might destroy some "vital principle" in air, Pasteur devised a long swan-necked flask.
The most straightforward way to stop food from decaying and to keep it safe for human consumption is to heat it. Pasteur developed this method, important in its application to milk. The well-known process of pasteurization was later named in his honor.

How did Louis Pasteur experiment differ from lazzaro spallanzani experiment?
Instead of sealing the flask in the experimental group after boiling, Pasteur used a flask with a curved neck, which allowed air inside and outside the flask to mix but prevented microorganisms from entering the body of the flask.
What is the broth in the flask?
In a science experiment, a broth is a liquid and a flask is a particular shape of glassware. If the method of your experiment refers to "the broth in the flask", look back over the previous steps and figure out what chemicals and liquids you added to the flask. If the goal of the experiment is to determine what the unknown broth in the flask is you may have to determine it by observing it's physical and chemical traits, be careful with the unknown broth in case it is flammable, poisonous or otherwise dangerous.
What variables did Pasteur change in his experiment to test the hypothesis of spontaneous generation?
The shape of the flask!
How would the experimental results be affected if the flask contained moisture at the beginning of the experiment?
test it out
Why do you use inverted vaccume flask in heat release and pea germination experiment?
Hey! So, basically, the flask is inverted so that air (oxygen) can get in, but bacteria cannot.
How did the design of pasteurs flask help him successfully refute the hypothesis of spontaneous generation?
It showed that microorganisms can only enter the flask as airborne particles.

What is the controlled variable in Spallanzani experiment?
sealing of flask
What is a divided flask?
A flask with two chambers. The contents are kept separate from each other until the experiment is set to begin. To mix the contents the flask is shaken.

What does the term swirl mean in a laboratory experiment?
Twisting your test tube, Erlenmeyer flask, Florence flask, or beaker to mix chemicals when a stirring rod is unavailable

Hey! So, basically, the flask is inverted so that air (oxygen) can get in, but bacteria cannot.
What is the precaution steps in the experiment of the determination of the molar mass of a volatile liquid?
make sure the flask is cooled about 15 minutes before weighing the flask to avoid the mass error
What is a flat bottomed flask used for in chemistry?
Some uses are:- experiment of chemical reactions- distillation- rotating evaporators
