What are the uses of a flask?
The round bottoms on these types of flasks allow more uniform heating and/or boiling of liquid. Thus, round-bottom flasks are used in a variety of applications where the contents are heated or boiled. Round-bottom flasks are usually used in distillation by chemists as distilling flasks and receiving flasks for the distillate One-neck round-bottom flasks are used as the distilling flasks in rotary evaporators.This flask shape is also more resistant to fracturing under vacuum, as a sphere more evenly distributes stress across its surface.
Why are beakers and flasks not used for heating solids?
the heat may not be distributed uniformly if solids are heated in beakers or flasks
What is the purpose of a flask?
A flask is essentially a bottle. * In a labs, glass flasks (Erlenmeyer, Florence) are used for mixing heating and storing solutions. Sometimes they are graduated to show the volume of material that they contain.* Vacuum flasks are more robist, ususally with a side arm to remove gases * Insulated flasks keep things cold like liquid nitrogen

What are rings used for in the laboratory?
They are used to hold round bottomed flasks and similar items.
What is the most used apparatus in a chemistry lab?
The most commonly used apparatus used in chemistry labs are beakers, round-bottomed flasks, glass bottles, Erlenmeyer flasks and wash bottles. Some of the other most used apparatuses used are microscopes.
What are round bottom flasks?
Round-bottom flasks are used to contain chemical reactions run by chemists, especially for reflux set-ups and laboratory-scale synthesis.
Which part of the vernier callipers is used to measure external diameter of cylinder?
Outer jaws are used. Inner jaws will be use to find the inner dia of the cylindrical vessel.
What are flask tongs?
I think you mean tongs used to grip hot flasks which are used in casting metal objects, or could be handling flasks of radioactive materials inside sealed chambers. this obviously has to be done remotely.
Why is a round bottomed flask used in fractional distillation rather than a flat bottomed flask?
Flat bottom flasks (Erlenmeyer and Florence flasks) are used for heating all the time.
