Never add a boiling chip to a hot liquid, because it can cause immediate boiling over of the solution. If you forget to add a boiling chip before you begin, you must cool the solution before adding one to prevent product loss. "Porous" boiling chips cannot be re-used since the pores inside these stones become filled with liquid on cooling. "Sharp" boiling chips like silicon carbide or coal can often be reused until they become coated with guck and become ineffective.

Are boiling chips soluble in water?
Boiling chips are not soluble in water.
What are boiling chips?
the use of boiling chips is that it traps air bubbles and it provides spaces for the solvent vapor can form. When the boiling process is started heated chips will release small bubbles to promote even heating of the solution this will ensure it will not over heat or (worst case scenario) explode. in short it makes the process more safely :D hope it helped
What is the function of boiling chips in the esterification reaction?
most of the carboxylic acids used during esterification are very volatile. boiling chips are added to maintain a smooth heating of the mixture and to prevent a voilent heating.
What is the function of boiling chips in the distillation process?
Boiling chips are placed in a distillation flask to avoid a phenomenon called "bumping": boiling so violent that it may contaminate the distillation condenser with liquid from a source other than condensate from vapor. Boiling chips accomplish this by releasing small bubble of adsorbed air that reduce the activation energy required for boiling in a gas free liquid. The activation energy arises because the interface formed between liquid and gas requires additional energy, above the heat of vaporization, to be formed because the interface has energy of its own.
