From Wikipedia.com (see Link to the left):

A Büchner flask, also known as a vacuum flask, filter flask, side-arm flask or Kitasato flask, is a thick-walled erlenmeyer flask with a short glass tube and hose barb protruding about an inch from its neck. The short tube and hose barb effectively acts as an adapter over which the end of a thick-walled flexible hose (tubing) can be fitted to form a connection to the flask. The other end of the hose can be connected to source of vacuum such as an aspirator vacuum pump or house vacuum. Preferably this is done through a trap (see below), which is designed to prevent the suckback of water from the aspirator into the Büchner flask.

What is the difference between a buchner flask filter flask and side-arm flask?

A Buchner flask is a flat-bottomed flask used in filtration setups with a sidearm to attach a vacuum source. A filter flask has a sidearm with an angled neck to connect to a vacuum pump for filtration. A side-arm flask typically has a single sidearm used for connecting to other glassware or apparatus.


Lab equipment used to support filter paper?

A Buchner funnel and a vacuum flask are commonly used in laboratories to support filter paper during filtration. The Buchner funnel is specifically designed to hold filter paper and can be connected to a vacuum flask to speed up the filtration process by applying suction.

Why buchner funnel is faster than ordinary funnel?

A filter funnel is a funnel shaped filter that is used to separate solids from liquids. By passing the mixture of solid and liquid parts through a filter, which is either a piece of filter paper or a glass frit, the solids remain in the filter funnel and the liquid is passed into a collection flask below. A Buchner funnel is typical kind of filter funnel.See the Web Links to the left for more information about filter funnels.A funnel is a pipe with a wide, often conical mouth and a narrow stem. It is used to channel liquid or fine-grained substances into containers with a small opening. Without a funnel, much spillage would occur.


How does a themos flask work?

Also known as a Buchner or vacuum flask, the flask uses vacuum to filter samples. A vacuum hose is attached to the hose barb and the funnel is placed on top. As the hose creates a vacuum, the sample is filtered through the funnel.
