What is a rubber stopper?
a test rubber stopper is used to close the tops of test tubes and flasks.It's like a cork to close off narrow-mouthed things like bottles, test tubes and flasks, except it's made of rubber and not cork.
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
Why are the stoppers of vacutainer tubes color coded?
different colours represent different additive content (Ex. a red stopper shows there is no anticoagulant, while a lavender stopper indicates EDTA is present in the evacuated tube).
How the rate of diffusion principal is used while filling rubber tubes to increase the speed of vehicles?
Explain how rate of diffusion principle is used while filling air in the rubber tubes to increase the speed of the vehicles.
Who introduced the use of soft rubber endotracheal tubes around 1930?

What is a piece of cork?
Rubber corks are commonly used in labs with test tubes as a stopper. The rubber corks are used on flask as well. The function of the rubber cork is to keep the contents in the container.

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 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!!
How to make hydrochloric acid?
Warning: This experiment releases toxic hydrogen chloride gas. This experiment must be done in a fumehood or outside. The containers must be glass to withstand the acid. Chemicals: conc. sulfuric acid,sodium chloride,distilled water Equipment: Round bottomed flask,funnel,test tube,bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, stopper with hole in the middle, 3 tubes, 3 1-inch length flexible rubber tubes, stand METHOD hold the round bottomed flask with the stand. Pour the sulfuric acid and sodium chloride in the round bottomed flask. Quickly place the stopper in the neck of the flask. Connect the 3 glass tubes and the 3 rubber tubes into a U-shape. connect one end to the stopper and the other in the water. Heat the water with the Bunsen burner and wait about a hour. NOTE Before you start the experiment you should connect the 3 tubes and the 3 rubber tubes first before you pour the acid and sodium chloride in (unless you are a CRAZY SCIENTIST)! --------- Hydrochloric acid is only the solution of hydrogen chloride in water. For the industrial production of hydrogen chloride see the link below.
