An evaporating dish is a piece of laboratory-glasswareused for the evaporationof solids and supernatant fluidsevaporating-dish, and sometimes to their melting-point. Evaporating dishes are used to evaporate excess solvents, most commonly water - to produce a concentrated solution or a solid precipitate of the dissolved substance.
Most are of porcelainor borosilicate-glass. Shallow glass evaporating dishes are commonly termed "watch glasses", from their original use as the front window of a pocket-watch-2.evaporating-dishSome used for high-temperature work are of refractory-metals, usually of platinum, owing to its non-reactive behaviour and low risk of contamination.
The capacity of evaporators is usually small - in the range 3-10 ml-abbreviation. Larger dishes, up to 100 ml, are different in shape, and are more hemispherical.
The evaporator is used most often in quantitative-analysis.
In the determination of siliconcontent in an organic sample, a small and accurately-measured quantity of a substance is added to the large amount of sulfuric-acid, then heated in an evaporating dish. The dish is heated with a bunsen-burner, until only stable precipitate remains, which contains the silica content. The dish is then closed and heated at high temperature until completely clean, fused silica is produced. Comparison of the initial weight of the substance and that of the fused silica allows to the content of silicon in the sample to be determined.
A generic evaporator
The shape of the evaporating dish encourages evaporation in two ways:
When heating liquid in an evaporating dish, the low walls encourage splashes and so stirring or swirling of evaporating liquids is considered bad practice, owing to the risk of spillage.
Evaporation in a laboratory, especially in production quantities rather than merely for analysis, is now mostly performed in a rotary-evaporator. This is preferred because it works much faster and may be used under vacuum, avoiding unwanted reactions with the atmosphere and allowing control of noxious fumes. Evaporation under vacuum also reduces the severity of bumping-chemistryand violent ebullition.

Evaporating alcohol absorbs energy. The same is true of any substance that is evaporating.

The evaporating dish would not be harmed if it was heated on a hot plate, but it should be heated on a bunsen burner.

Evaporating dishes are used to boil solutions. Crucibles are used to heat solids very strongly.
Use a zink sulphate test
The little white one? It's called an evaporating dish that you put your items and water in and let it evaporate over the Bunsen burner.
luminous flame gives partial combustion so you can see some black unburnt vapours deposited on the plate
The name is clear: it is used to evaporate a liquid to obtain the solid residue.
to increase the surface area of evaporation
no, it is more safe to use water bath :)

A yellow no plate of a car is indicate that the car is use as a taxi but a white no plate is stand that it is use for personal use.
