So you don't get water, dirt or other contaminants in the reagent bottle.
The reagent bottle should contain chemicals that are as pure as possible. If each person put a dirty spatula in the bottle, the reagent bottle would very quickly accumulate all kinds of junk, ruining the chemicals inside or causing hazardous chemical reactions.
A clean and dry spatula ensures that there are no contaminants introduced to the solid chemicals, preventing any unwanted reactions or impurities. This helps maintain the purity and integrity of the chemicals being transferred.
This standard procedure -dry and clean spatula in scooping solid chemicals from reagent bottle- should prevent contamination of - and exposure to dirt and humidity to - the other chemical reagents.

A clean and dry spatula ensures that the solid chemicals being transferred are not contaminated by any residues left over from previous use or by moisture, which could alter the purity or composition of the chemicals. Cleanliness and dryness help maintain accuracy in measurements and prevent unwanted reactions.
To contain foods (liquids, granulated, powdered), chemical reagents, other chemicals.
Using a dry and clean spatula helps prevent contamination of the reagent. Spooning out small amounts of solid ensures accurate measurement and avoids waste of reagent. Remember to close the reagent bottle tightly after use to maintain its integrity.
Keeping the spatula clean and dry is important to prevent contamination of the chemical being transferred and to ensure accurate measurements. Any leftover residue or moisture on the spatula could introduce impurities or alter the chemical composition, affecting the experimental results.
Reagent bottles are commonly used in laboratories to store and dispense chemicals, solvents, and reagents. They help to ensure the safe handling and storage of these substances, as well as enable accurate measurements during experiments. Reagent bottles are also used for the preparation of solutions, mixing of reagents, and as a container for samples.
If it is wet, it will get the chemical wet, which will add to its mass, and could cause an undesired reaction. If it is dirty, the substance on the spatula would affect the purity of the chemical, and could cause an unwanted reaction, or could also affect the mass.
To remove chemicals from a reagent bottle, you can rinse the bottle with a suitable solvent or cleaning solution multiple times, ensuring that all residue is washed out. Additionally, you can use a chemical cleaning agent specifically designed to remove stubborn residues from glassware. Always ensure proper safety precautions are followed when handling and disposing of chemicals.
To ensure no other chemicals get into the bottle and react with the solid you are trying to use.
This bottle is used to contain reagents.
