Answer 2

Ah, the retort stand is a wonderful tool in the world of science! It helps hold up various equipment like beakers, flasks, and test tubes during experiments, keeping them steady and secure. Just like a gentle breeze supporting a delicate flower, the retort stand provides stability and allows scientists to focus on their work with ease.

Answer 3

retort is used as a verb........a transitive verb like respond sharply - to say something sharp, angry, witty and a noun like sharp answer - something sharp or insulting said quickly in response to something somebody else has said

Answer 4

A retort stand is an item used in a Science Lab or classroom used mainly for the subject of Chemistry. Retort stands hold beakers, conical flasks etc with a clamp and keep the object still. Bunsen Burners can then be placed underneath as well as many other methods of chemistry. In short; retort stands are used to hold a beaker, conical flask etc so that the user can perform a scientific technique such as heating and cooling.

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

Retort stand are use for experiments that requires apparatus to be like standing upright or hanging something say a pendulum bob or in chemistry with the spider clamp to hold the burette for titration. It varies for different experiments as it has many uses. But most of the time is just to support and hold an apparatus to set up an experiment.

Answer 6

To support a retort, of course.

(A retort is a specialized, and largely obsolete, piece of chemistry apparatus. Most chemists use the more generic term "ring stand" ... even though there may not be any rings involved either. It's basically a vertical metal pole with a weighted base on which various clamps, rings, or other supports can be placed to hold equipment at varying heights to, for example, allow a heat source to be placed underneath.)

Answer 7

Use : It is used for holding or supporting apparatus during experimentsused for holding objects in position

Answer 8

A retort is a type of glassware used by chemists. A retort stand supports the retort.
