What is a filter funnel made out of?

A filter funnel is typically made out of either glass or plastic, such as polypropylene or polycarbonate. Glass funnels are more durable and resistant to chemicals, while plastic funnels are usually more affordable and lightweight. It's important to choose the appropriate material based on the specific filtering needs and the chemicals being used.


What is the use of a laboratory funnel?

Glass funnels are tubes with a wide opening and a narrower end, generally used in laboratory environments. The narrow bottoms of funnels allow liquids to be added slowly to chemical mixtures. Some funnels are used with filter paper to filter fine particles from a liquid. Funnels for laboratory use usually use glass instead of metal or plastic because it does not react with chemicals. Solvents can degrade plastic or metal funnels.


Is a plastic cup lighter than a glass cup?

Plastic is less dense than glass, so normally a plastic cup is considerably lighter than a glass cup, although in theory a very small glass cup could weigh less than a very large plastic cup.


How does the density differ between a glass and a plastic cup that have almost exactly the same volume?

Higher molecular interaction force contribute to higher density. In additional, higher molecular weight give tendency to higher density at same intermolecular force. Even plastic had different density, some plastic is lighter than water but some can be twice heavy, PVC for example.


Has vinyl plastic replaced glass nowadays?

No polycarbonate plastic and acrylic plastic make a better replacement for glass than vinyl. There are also some applications for which nothing replaces real glass.

Which is more better to use a glass thermometer or a plastic thermometer?

There is no difference in the effectiveness of glass or plastic. Glass is more fragile for breaking but easier to keep clean, plastic is safer for not breaking, and harder to keep clean longer. It is a personal choice.


What is the difference between auto glass and regular glass?

The difference between auto glass and regular glass is that auto glass has a thin layer of flexible clear plastic placed between two (or more) layers of glass. The film holds the glass in place when it breaks and will lessen the injuries from broken glass.

Is ' What forms condensation first plastic glass or water ' a good idea for a science project?

Maybe you should change your question to something more like, "Will the difference in material between a glass container and plastic container affect the rate of condensation of water?"

What advantage do glass and plastic containers have over aluminum cans?

An advantage that glass and plastic containers have over aluminum cans is that glass and plastic containers, after used, can be washed, disinfected, and used again. Also now both glass and plastic can also be recycled.


Why is glass used for windows?

Glass is see through and is better quality than plastic. Plastic is not as see through as glass anyway.
