What is the purpose of wetting the glass tubing before inserting into a stopper?
Glass tubing is exactly what it sounds like -- a tube made of glass. Glass tubing comes in all shapes in sizes, with tube diameters or just a millimeter or less up to very large tubes. It can be used for a number of things. I can be used to carry both liquid and gasses. With a triangular file, it is possible to break glass tubing into smaller pieces. Using a hot flame from a Bunsen burner, it is possible to bend glass tubing into other shapes.See the Web Links to the left for more information about how to use glass tubing.

Cutting in one direction in glass tubing will reduce the places the glass will crack and break. Cutting in multiple directions greatly increases the chance of the glass tubing completely shattering when you break it off.

The test tube is widely used in chemistry, biology, physics to make very different experiments.
This is a stand.
It isn't dangerous until the glass breaks. Broken glass is dangerous. The contents inside the tubing may contain mercury or other chemicals that should not be ingested.
1. - Clear glass tubing with neon produces red or reddish-orange; Clear glass tubing with argon produces faint purple. 2. - Some colors are produced by inert gases in tubing with fluorescent powders painted or baked on the inside. 3. - Colored glass may be used in combination with neon or argon, Mercury, and helium to produce other colors
The function of a hard glass test tube is heating a substance. The glass is resistant to chemicals and it can withstand pressure and heat.
A glass, beaker, flask, jar and anything else that has a hole on top.
This is a safety precaution to prevent injury to the experimenter's hands. Glass tubing may splinter or shatter if scored incorrectly or if there was a defect in manufacturing.
