When magnesium reacts quickly with hydrochloric acis to produce hydrogen gas in a glass tube with a rubber stopper why would the rubber stopper burst of?
rubber stopper burst up because it has strong afinity with hydrogen
What are the safety precautions and techniques when inserting a glass tubing in a rubber stopper?
never attempt to insert glass tubing that has a jagged end, all glass tubing should be fire polished before its inserted into a rubber stopper. Use water or glycerin as a lubricant at the end of the glass tubing before inserting it into the rubber stopper. ask teacher for proper lubricant. Protect hands and fingers by wearing leather gloves or placing a folded cloth between your hands and the tubing. hold it as close as possible to the part it is inserted to the rubber stopper. always point the tubing away from the palm of your hand that holds the stopper. use a twisting motion and push the tubing into the stopper. At the end of the experiment put on leather gloves or place the folded cloth between your hands and the tubing and remover the stoppers from the tubing to keep them from sticking to the glass. if it wont budge, use lubricant.
Purpose of a hemoguard stopper on an ets tube?
The purpose of a Hemoguard stopper on an ETS tube is to prevent any blood or fluid from leaking out of the tube during transportation or handling. The Hemoguard stopper is designed to create a tight seal and provide a barrier against any potential leaks or contamination. This helps ensure the integrity of the sample and maintain the accuracy of test results.
What is the function of a rubber bung?
A rubber bung (also called rubber stopper) is used in the laboratories for test tubes, flasks (made of glass usually). Bungs also used by winery industry for the wine bottles. A bung must fill well as a stopper. The bungs are of many sizes. Rubber bung can have one or more hole(s) for plugging in tube depending on the specification of the procedures. In chemical laboratory, to prevent the liquid chemical leaks or escape the container, we need the rubber bung that fit tightly to the container's open, therefore, the dimension of the rubber bung is concerned. These are some of the sizes that are commonly seen in chemical laboratory
How do you test for carbon dioxide with a splint?
collect gas from reaction with a test tube, then light spint and insert into the gas filled tube. if splint is extinguished immediately, then its CO2. but limewater test is more reliable
How do you find the weight of air?
When finding the mass of air, you need to have a test tube and a stopper. Measure the mass of the test tube and the stopper together. Then, make sure that the air gets in the the tube and put the stopper on. Recheck the mass of the air, test tube, and stopper and subtract just the tube and stopper from the newly recorded mass to find the mass of air.

What color tube for a chemistry test?
Each test has a specific color tube.
What test tube do you use to draw test for lead levels?
Tan Stopper
How do you make fire extinguisher working model?
hey! You will need the following things : 1) a hollow glass tube or a eye dropper 2) a big glass bottle 3) a bottle of vinegar 4) a box of baking soda 6 ) a rubber or cork stopper that fit the big bottle 7) paper towel and a rubber band 8) water First thing to is remove the rubber squeeze bulb on the eye dropper and keep the glass tube and make a hole slightly smaller than the glass tube in the rubber or cork bottle stopper and insert the glass tube in the stopper until the tip of tube come out of the stopper . ( Do this slowly ; so not to break the glass) Put baking soda on the sheet of paper towel and attract the corners to the other end of the tube to the rubber stopper securing with the rubber band than fill the big bottle: 1/3 full of vinegar and the other 1/3 with water leaving the bottle about half full Than carefully insert the rubber stopper on the big bottle with the bag of soda hanging above the vinegar water solution. Make sure it a tight seal on the bottle when you ready to use Tip the bottle over and wait a minute or two than the water will shoot out of the tip and you have a working Fire extinguisher I hope this help

What is a rubber stopper used for in chemistry?
Rubber stoppers are widely used for the commercial, industrial and scientific markets. They are made from different types of rubber and available in various sizes and styles depending on applications.What are Rubber Stoppers used for?Possible uses of rubber stoppers are wide and varied such as :Mechanical StopBumpersVibration MountGrippersClampsSticky feet for platformFits into Test Tubes, Boiling FlaskPipe stoppersPaint masksTube plugsDoor stopperThe kind of rubber stopper used in chemical laboratories is a plug which fits into the top of a test tube or flask, often with a hole or holes bored in it for the insertion of a piece of glass tubing. They used to be made of cork but rubber is less likely to disintegrate and get into the contents of the flask or tube.
What are rubber stoppers use for?
Commonly, rubber stoppers are used in scientific experiments to plug and test tubes. Their purpose is to prevent liquids, and sometimes gases, from escaping their containers.
What happens to iron placed in a test tube with a stopper?
Iron and oxygen in a test tube alone will not react (observed by placing a piece of iron in a test tube with a stopper).Iron and water in a test tube alone will not react (observed by completely submerging a piece of iron in water in a test tube with a stopper).Iron, water and oxygen in a test tube will react (observed by placing a piece of iron in a test tube and submerging half of it with water). The following reaction will take place: iron + water + oxygen ----> hydrated iron(III) oxide. Hydrated iron(III) oxide is the chemical name for rust, which will appear as orange flaking on the piece of iron. To speed up this reaction you can use a bit of salt as a catalyst.
What color stopper tube is used to collect a blood specimen for a prothrombin time test?
gray
What is the difference between a stopper and a bung?
A bung is almost always made of plastic/rubber and it could have a hole in it to allow you to insert glass tubes/thermometers etc. These are the ones which you usually use to close off test tubes for short periods of time (i.e, during a reaction etc.) A stopper on the other hand usually refers to a glass stopper which could go in an Erlenmeyer flask for storage or in a separating funnel when it is being inverted and shaken. It is confusing because people often refer to bungs as stoppers and say 'stopper off the test tube' when they mean for you to use a bung. The general rule of thumb is that a bung is usually used in place of a stopper unless you are specifically told to do so!!
