Why must the glass stopper of a reagent bottle never be placed directly on the laboratory bench?

The stopper of a chemical reagent container should be handled carefully for two reasons. Firstly, it may contain chemical residues which can be dangerous. Additionally, if the stopper is dirtied it may contaminate the reagent in the bottle when the stopper is put back on.


Pouring the reagents to its container?

I'm pretty sure that you hold the reagent bottle by the base. Like the main part of the bottle, veresus the neck or bottom.


How you remove hard sticky label from glass bottle?

One way to get it out is to brace the bottle or have a buddy hold it. Throw two or three loops of cotton string around the neck of the bottle (a shoe lace works well). Holding the ends of the string tight, with a sawing motion, pull the string back and forth.After about 3 to 4 minutes of this, the friction of the string will have heated the neck of the bottle, causing it to expand and release the (colder) stopper. Before you put the stopper back into the bottle, grease it lightly with stopper grease or petroleum jelly. Don't put a cold stopper into a hot bottle.DO NOT USE ANY OTHER METHOD to heat the neck of the bottle. The heat of an open flame, for instance, cannot be controlled and it may cause the bottle to explode or crack.A (quicker) variation is to wet a cloth with water from the hot tap (about as hot as you can stand when you wring it out - but no hotter), and wrap it round the neck of the bottle or decanter.

When glass stopper in a bottle is stuck it may sometimes be loosened by holding the neck of the bottle under a hot water faucet explain the physical principle responsible for this observed phenomenon?

With a few exceptions (notably melting ice) objects expand when heated. If you run hot water on a bottle neck, the heat is applied directly to the bottle and only indirectly to the stopper inside the bottle, so the bottle heats first, and thereby expands sooner than the stopper does. An expanded bottle will exert less pressure on the stopper.
