Glass Beaker

A 500 mL glass beaker is designed for general-purpose mixing, heating, and measuring liquids. It is made from high-quality borosilicate glass, widely used for its heat resistance, durability, and chemical inertness, making it suitable for a range of lab applications.

Key Features of Glass Beaker:

• Material: Made from borosilicate glass, known for its ability to withstand thermal stress and chemical reactions. This ensures durability when heating or cooling substances.
• Capacity: Holds 500 mL of liquid, making it suitable for larger volumes of chemical solutions or mixtures.
• Graduations: Typically marked with easy-to-read volume graduations, although these are approximate measurements and not meant for precise volume determination.

Design:

• Cylindrical shape with a spout for easy pouring.
• Flat bottom to provide stability.
• Wide mouth for easy access when stirring or adding materials.
• Heat Resistance: This can be heated directly on a hot plate or over a Bunsen burner (with gradual heating), making it suitable for various laboratory heating applications.
• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most chemicals, including acids, bases, and organic solvents.

Common Uses:

• Mixing or dissolving chemicals.
• Heating or cooling solutions.
• Approximate volume measurement during experiments.
• General lab procedures involving liquids.
