A bell jar is a bell-shaped glass cover used to protect and display delicate objects or to cover scientific apparatus or to contain gases. A more scientific definition is: a glass, quartz, or stainless steel chamber used to isolate substrates in a subatmospheric environment for deposition or etch.

Describe the bell in a bell jar with vacuum experiment?

A bell jar is a piece of laboratory equipment used for creating vacuums.[1] It can be similar in shape to a bell, and can be manufactured out of a variety of materials (ranging from glass to different types of metals). A bell jar is placed on a base which is vented to a hose fitting, which can be connected via a hose to a vacuum pump. By pumping the air out of the bell jar, a vacuum is formed.


Why would a candle burn longer in the open other than in a glass jar?

If the glass jar is sealed, there is a limited amount of oxygen within it. Fire uses oxygen to stay alive. Once it uses up the limited amount of oxygen in the glass jar, it can no longer sustain flame. However, in the open, there is a theoretically unlimited amount of oxygen.


Why does the water rise in a bell jar with a burning candle?

People often think that the reason is because the oxygen gets burned up, creating a vacuum into which the water is sucked, but this is not true. The reason is that the candle heats up the air in the jar, which causes it to expand. The expanding air is pushed through the water at the bottom. Note that at this stage the candle goes out. There is now no flame to heat the air and so it cools down, which makes the air shrink. This is what creates the vacuum that "sucks" the water up.But the oxygen is burned up, so doesn't that reduce the volume of the gas?Yes, the oxygen is burned up, but the chemical reaction between the candle wax and the oxygen produces carbon dioxide of roughly equivalent volume.Does the flame go out because the oxygen gets used up?Actually no. You can show that not all of the oxygen is used up when a candle burns in a bell jar by putting a mouse in the jar, which will stay alive. In fact the changing dynamics of the gases in the jar (increasing carbon dioxide produced in the combustion of wax, decreasing oxygen as it is used up in the combustion) contrive to prevent adequate oxygen from reaching the flame for the combustion reaction to continue.


Pot of plant with soil wrapped with plastic bag covered with bell jar test for?

The plastic bag over the soil will help create a greenhouse effect by trapping heat and moisture, promoting plant growth. The bell jar will further enhance this effect by allowing sunlight to enter while preventing heat from escaping. This setup is commonly used for propagating plants, providing them with optimal conditions for root development and growth.


How do you Divide 10 ltr of water equally between 10ltr and 7ltr jar using 10 7 and 3 ltr jars?

You can do it in 9 steps. That is one of the possible solutions. Others may have a faster solution. Columns A, B, and C represent the amount of water in the 10L, 7L, and 3L jars, respectively. A B C -- -- -- 10 0 0 <-- starting point 3 7 0 <-- fill up the 7-L jar 3 4 3 <-- fill up the 3-L jar from the 7-L jar 6 4 0 <-- pour the content in the 3-L jar into the 10-L jar 6 1 3 <-- fill up the 3-L jar from the 7-L jar 9 1 0 <-- pour the content in the 3-L jar into the 10-L jar 9 0 1 <-- pour the content in the 7-L jar into the 3-L jar 2 7 1 <-- fill up the 7-L jar 2 5 3 <-- fill up the 3-L jar 5 5 0 <-- pour the content in the 3-L jar into the 10-L jar ============================

What does the rubber sheet on bell jar do when pulled down?

When the rubber sheet on a bell jar is pulled down, it creates a vacuum seal between the bell jar and the surface it is placed on. This vacuum seal allows for the removal of air from within the bell jar when connected to a vacuum pump, creating a vacuum environment inside the jar.
