How does a steam distillation sloping splash head work?

A steam distillation sloping splash head is a glassware attachment used in steam distillation setups. It is placed on top of the distillation flask to prevent carry-over of boiling liquid into the condenser. As the vapor rises, it hits the sloping surface, condenses, and falls back into the flask, ensuring that only vaporized compounds are carried into the condenser for distillation.

How does a ramp make work easier?

A ramp makes work easier by reducing the amount of force needed to move an object between different heights. Instead of lifting the object straight up, you can push or pull it along the inclined surface of the ramp, which requires less force. This helps to minimize the work done against gravity and makes it easier to transport heavy loads.
