During an ash test procedure this could be used to ccol the material after burning off all volital materials. This would prevent the absorption of moisture during the cooling process so an accurate weight of the material can be obtained to generate a valid measure of the volitals that were vaporized in the first step of this procedure.
What else can I help you with?
Why you should use desiccator to cool the hot salt?
A desiccator is used to remove moisture from the surrounding environment, not to cool down the salt. Cooling hot salt can be achieved by simply allowing it to cool at room temperature or using a cooling method such as placing it in a water bath.
Why should the dried sample be kept in desiccator for cooling?
If a dried sample is warm, it will absorb water from the air while cooling. Placing it in a desiccator puts it in a dry atmosphere where no moisture is available to be absorbed from the air.
What is the role of the dessicant in dessicator?
The role of the desiccant in a desiccator is to absorb moisture or water vapor from the air within the desiccator, creating a dry environment. This helps to protect sensitive materials or samples that are stored inside the desiccator from moisture damage or degradation. The desiccant helps maintain a low humidity level, prolonging the shelf-life of the stored items.
Why should desiccator lid be left slightly 'cracked' during the cool-down period?
Leaving the desiccator lid slightly cracked during the cool-down period allows for the gradual equalization of pressure inside and outside the desiccator. This prevents the formation of a vacuum that could potentially disrupt or damage the samples inside. Additionally, it helps to avoid condensation by allowing moisture to escape, ensuring that the samples remain dry and unaffected by humidity.
What lab equipment would you use to measure?
In a modern lab, you would use a digital scale to measure mass. Historically, balances and spring scales were used.
What is a desiccator most commonly used for?
A desiccator is commonly used to extract water from various articles of clothing. Also, if you manage to get your phone wet, you can use a desiccator to remove it.
What is a desiccator and how it is used?
Desiccator are sealable enclosure containing desiccants for preserving moisture
Why is hot material not kept in desiccator?
Hot materials are not kept in a desiccator because the sudden cooling caused by placing a hot material in a desiccator can create a vacuum inside the desiccator, leading to potential implosion. Additionally, the hot material can release gases or vapors that may react with the desiccant or other substances present in the desiccator.
What piece of lab equipment to keep 100 grams of a compound from absorbing atmospheric moisture?
A desiccator is used to keep compounds dry by creating a dry environment with controlled humidity levels. Placing the compound in a desiccator with a desiccant, such as silica gel or calcium chloride, can help prevent it from absorbing moisture.
How do you take care of desiccator?

Why must The Crucible by Arthur Miller be cooled in a desiccator?
it must be cooled in the desiccator in order to take the correct measurement on the scale while performing the experiment.
Why you should use desiccator to cool the hot salt?
A desiccator is used to remove moisture from the surrounding environment, not to cool down the salt. Cooling hot salt can be achieved by simply allowing it to cool at room temperature or using a cooling method such as placing it in a water bath.
Who long you can left the simple in the desiccator?
I think you should resubmit this question as How long can you leave a sample in a desiccator? and it would help if you gave information about what sample you are putting in.
Why is a desiccator used to cool a crucible?
A desiccator is used to cool a crucible in order to prevent the absorption of moisture during the cooling process so an accurate result can be obtained
Why is it best to use a desiccator for cooling of the crucible and lid after heating?
The purpose is to avoid absorption of water vapors, CO2, H2S, dust, etc.
What science lab instrument is use to keep 100 grams of compound from absorbing atmospheric moisture?
A desiccator is commonly used in science labs to prevent compounds from absorbing moisture from the atmosphere. It is a sealed container filled with a desiccant, such as silica gel or calcium chloride, which absorbs moisture and maintains a dry environment for the compound.
Why CaCl2 or silica is placed in desiccator Why should it be dried occasionally?
CaCl2 or silica gel is placed in a desiccator to absorb moisture from the air inside, keeping the contents of the desiccator dry. These desiccants need to be dried occasionally to regenerate their drying capacity by removing absorbed moisture, ensuring they can continue to maintain low humidity levels within the desiccator effectively.
