What is an evaporating dish and how is it used?In: Science, Chemistry [Recategorize] |
[Edit] |
The evaporating dish is used to heat and evaporate liquids.
This porcelain item resembles a shallow bowl with a spout. Evaporating dishes are traditionally used to evaporate solvent to concentrate a solution; however they can also be used to hold sand for a sand bath, as a small water bath, or as a drying dish (like a watch glass).
If heated by a direct flame, it will often be placed on a clay triangle for support.
