This is called lubrication. Without this, the glass tube will be difficult to insert in because of the friction between the rubber and glass.

It acts as a lubricant to make it easier for the glass tubing to slide freely through the hole in the stopper.

Can you put a perm in your hair while there is chlorine in it?

Rule #1 : no wetting including washing & swimming 5 days before putting a perm in it. Chances are the chlorine would still be in your hair and will react to the perm chemicals and result in hair loss and or the perm will not take to your hair. Also no wetting 24 hrs prior to applying the perm or the chemicals will not take to the hair and it woukd be a waste of time.


Why must the stopper at the top of the separatory funnel be removed before liquid can be withdrawn through the stopcock?

If the stopper is left in place while liquid is draining a vacuum will be created in the separatory funnel and outside air will try to get in. The only way it can do this is through the opening that the liquid is trying to leave. The air pushes against the liquid and will greatly reduce or even stop its flow. If the stopper is removed no vacuum is created because the air can easily get in the top of the funnel.

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.


Wetting the bed on purpose?

If someone is wetting the bed on purpose it means they are consciously allowing themselves to urinate while they are aware of what they are doing. as to how to start there is a mental barrier in place, kind of a "i have been told not to do this" kind of thing. Just overcome that obstacle and it will happen. Though why anyone would want to wet the bed on purpose is beyond me.
