PRECAUTIONS
1. Make a single deep scratch at the desired length with one stroke af the file.
2. To avoid injury hold the glass tube with the help of a thick piece of cloth.
8. Do not heat the end for long time. It may seal the end or make it narrower.

1. Hold the glass tubing between the thumb and fingers, introduce it lengthwise in the
luminous flame of burner. Keep the tube rotating till it softens.

2, Now apply gentle pressure so that it bends by its own weight. When the desired
angle is formed, remove the tubing from the flame.
8. Place the bent limb on the asbestos sheet. Press it gently so as to make it coplanar.
Allow the tubing to cool.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Select a glass tube of sufficient length to keep your hands safe from heat. Do not try
to bend very small glass tubes of the lengths less than 20 em.
2, While heating, the glass tube should be rotated in order to ensure uniform heating.
3, Never bend the glass tubing by force. By doing so, the tubing may break.
1. Take a delivery tube of required length and diameter. Hold it with both hands and
place it lengthwise in flame (Fig. 2.5).
11, Heat the tubing in the bunsen flame while rotating between fingers.

- Take the tubing out of the flame and gently pull the two ends apart. The middle
Portion is drawn out to a thickness of about 2 mm.
4. Cool and cut the narrow portion with a triangular file and two jets will be obtained,
Finally round the ends of the jets by heating in a flame for a short while.
PRECAUTIONS
1. While drawing a jet, pull apart the two ends of the red-hot tube slowly so that it
becomes thin unformly.
Boring a cork is required for setting up an apparatus for the preparation of gas and for carrying
out distillation ete. Above all, itis required for fitting up a wash bottle. For perfect boring of the
cork, the following steps are involved :
1. Softening of the Cork. It is essential as a cork gets hard on keeping. In order to
soften a cork, wet it with water, When it becomes more flexible and does not crack readily, then
press it in a cork-presser which is a mechanical device and if it is not available, simply press
the wetted cork under your shoes after wrapping the cork in a piece of paper.
Fig. 2.6. Pressing the cork with shoe,
2, Selection of the Borer. Choose a borer slightly smaller in diameter than that of the
© scanned with OKEN ScannerFig. 2.7 Propor selection of the borer.
8. Boring of the Cork. Place the cork on the table with its narrow end upward. Mark
the position of the borer on both the sides of the cork to ensure straight hole. Holding the cork
tightly with left hand, apply force on the borer with a twisting motion. Apply some glycerine to
the borer if it is a rubber cork. Glycerine acts as lubricant for the hard rubber cork. When half
of the cork has been bored, take the borer out and reverse the cark. Start the process of boring
taking care that the borer remains vertical throughout. Remove the borer after the cork has been.
bored from one face to the other. Remove the pieces of the cork inside by inserting the needle.
Place marked fo boring
Fig. 2.8. (@) Marked cork, (b) Boring process.
Note. For fitting up a wash bottle, it is necessary to bore teoheles in the cork. The two les are
bored in the same way as done for single hole but with e precaution that the two holes should not be very
close to each other. Ifthe distance is very small, then the thin cork layer may break.
Fitting the Glass Tube in the Bore. Wet the cork with water. Wet the end of the tube
also with water. Hold the cork in one hand say left hand and tube in the right hand. It should
bbe noted that the tube should be held closely from the wetted end. Insert the tube into the bore
giving a rotatory motion as shown in Fig. 2.9.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Select bores of diameter slightly smalller in size than that of the tube to be inserted
in the hole.
2. Make a mark an both sides of the cork.
8. To obtain a smooth hole, drill half the hole from one side and another half from the
other side of the cork.
4, Since the rubber is hard, the end of the tube to be inserted is usually dipped in
caustic soda solution or glycerine before fitting in the hole.

8, Heat the beaker slowly and go on stirring the liquid in the beaker so that the
temperature remains uniform throughout. For this, a glass loop stirrer is moved up
and down. When the temperature is within 15° of the melting point of the pure
substance, the flame is lowered. Now the temperature is allowed to rise slowly.
4, The temperature is noted when the substance starts melting. The temperature is
noted again when it is completely melted. The average of the two readings gives the
correct: melting point of the substance.
© scanned with OKEN ScannerPRECAUTIONS
1. Use dry and powdered sample for the determination of melting point.
2. Keep the lower end of the capillary tube and the thermometer at the same level.
48, Packing of the powder should be uniform without any big air gaps in between the
solid particles.
4, Heating should be gradual and the bath should be stirred regularly to maintain
uniform temperature,
5. The bulb of the thermometer and the capillary sticking to it should not touch the
side or the bottom of the beaker.
6. Do not use rubber band for attaching the capillary tube to the thermometer.

REQUIREMENTS
100 ml corning glass beaker; a small thin walled test tube, thermometer, a capillary tube, a
tripod stand, wire gauze, stirrer, iron stand with clamp, liquid paraffin or cone. sulphuric acid
and the given liquid.
PROCEDURE
1, Take a small test tube and fill it two-third with the given liquid whose boiling point
is to be determined. Fix this tube to the thermometer with a rubber band. The rubber
band should be fixed near the mouth of the tube so that it remains outside the liquid
paraffin bath. Adjust the tube so that the bottom of the tube is somewhere at the
middle of the thermometer bulb.
2. Clamp the thermometer carrying test tube in an iron stand through a cork. Lower
the thermometer along with the tube into a liquid paraffin bath. Adjust the ther-
mometer so that its bulb is well under the acid and open end of the tube with the
rubber band is sufficiently outside the acid bath.
8, Take # capillary tube 5-6 om in length and seal it at about one cm from one end by
heating it in flame and giving a slight twist. Place this capillary in the test tube 50

PRECAUTIONS
1. Keep the lower end of the ignition tube and the thermometer bulb at the same level.
2. Record the temperature as the boiling point at which brisk and continuous evolution
of the bubbles starts from the lower end of the capillary dipped in the liquid organic
compound.
8, Ifon placing the sealed capillary tube in the test tube, the liquid is seen rising in the
‘capillary tube, it indicates that the capillary tube is not properly sealed. Reject this
capillary tube and use a sealed new one,
‘The sealed point of the capillary tube should be well within the liquid.
‘The paraffin bath must be heated very slowly and the paraffin stirred to ensure
‘uniform heating.
