What is an Erlenmeyer flask?
The Erlenmeyer flask, created by Emil Erlenmeyer, is a glass container with a conical body and narrow neck. It is used in chemistry, biology, and other science laboratories due to its versatility and design that facilitates the manipulation of liquids and solids.
Applications and uses of Erlenmeyer flasks
- Liquid measurement: thanks to the graduations on its surface, it allows precise measurement of liquids, essential for preparing solutions accurately.
- Mixing and dissolving: Its conical shape facilitates stirring without spills and reduces vapor loss, ensuring efficient mixing.
- Uniform heating: ideal for direct heating over heat sources, distributing heat evenly and avoiding hot spots.
- Titration reactions: used in titrations to contain solutions and observe color changes, indicating the equivalence point.
Techniques and Procedures
- Titrations: process of adding a reagent to a solution contained in the flask until a complete reaction is achieved, observable by a color change.
- Evaporation and condensation: used to evaporate liquids and condense vapors in distillation experiments.
- Cultivation of microorganisms: in microbiology, it is used to prepare and maintain culture broths.
The Erlenmeyer flask is an essential tool in any laboratory due to its multifunctional design, allowing a wide variety of techniques and procedures to be carried out with precision and safety.
