Glass rods can be used to stir and displace liquids.

Glass is often used because it does not react with many chemicals, especially acids.

What is a laboratory stirring rod and how do you use it?

A laboratory stirring rod is a long, thin, cylindrical tool typically made of glass or metal used to mix liquids or powders in a container. To use it, simply hold the rod in the center and swirl it gently in a circular motion within the substance to ensure even mixing without causing splashing or spillage.


What is a glass stirring rod and a rubber policeman and how are they used?

A stirring rod is a glass rod, typically about 6 inches to 1 foot long and 1/8 to 1/4 inch in diameter that can be used to stir liquids in flasks or beakers.You can also use a stirring rod to help pour liquids without spilling. Because of surface tension, liquids tend to run down an object. So if you hold a glass rod vertically, with one end in the opening of the beaker or flask you are pouring into, and then hold the top end of the glass rod against the rim beaker you are pouring out of, the liquid will run down the rod and not spill. Be careful... it might take a little practice to get the proper technique!Sometimes, an attachment called a rubber policeman added to the end of the stirring rod. It is used to transfer residues of precipitates or solids from the inside or beakers, flasks or other glass surfaces. They are often made from rubber, but plastic ones can also be found.See the Web Links and Related Questions for more information and pictures.

What structural characteristic of DNA allows it to be spooled out on a rod?

DNA's double helix structure allows it to be wrapped around histone proteins to form nucleosomes, which can be further coiled and folded to form chromatin. This coiling and folding of DNA allows for its compaction and spooling out on a rod during cell division or when storing genetic material.

When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth the charge produced in the glass rod is?

When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, the glass rod becomes positively charged. This is because electrons are transferred from the glass to the silk, leaving the glass with an excess of positive charge.


How a glass rod charged when rubbed with wool?

When a glass rod is rubbed with wool, electrons are transferred from the wool to the glass rod, making the rod negatively charged. This transfer of electrons causes the glass rod to become statically charged, meaning it has an excess of negative charge.


If a glass rod were rubbed with silk and a plastic rod with wool how would the glass rod react with wool?

What happen when a glass rod is rubbed with fur?

Rubbing a glass rod with fur transfers electrons from the fur to the glass rod, giving the glass rod a negative charge. This charge separation creates an attractive force between the glass rod (negative charge) and the fur (positive charge), causing them to be attracted to each other.

When rubbed against a silk cloth a glass rod loses electrons. How does this affect the charges of the glass rod and the silk cloth?

When a glass rod is rubbed against a silk cloth, the glass rod becomes positively charged because it loses electrons to the silk cloth. The silk cloth becomes negatively charged because it gains those electrons from the glass rod. This transfer of electrons results in the glass rod and silk cloth having opposite charges.
