Best Answer

The anti-bumbing granules provide many places where bubbles of gas may form as the water boils . The bubbles are small and rise steadily to the surface of the liquid where they burst. Without the granules, fewer but larger bubbles form . they rise and burst with such force that they shake the test tubes which can be very hazardous.

What is the purpose of placing a boiling stone in the distillation flask prior to beginning a distillation?

Anti-bumping granules are small pieces of silica. They provides a nucleus on which gas bubbles grow, therefore avoiding the sudden production of large gas bubbles which can lead to 'bumping'. This is called succussion; it can cause liquid to splash over into the condenser and therefore produce an impure product. Severe bumping can even lead to loss of material through vents or can blow a distillation apparatus apart.
