The crucible and lid to be used are pre-weighed very accurately on an analytical balance. After some possible washing and/or pre-drying of this filtrate, the residue on the filter paper can be placed in the crucible and fired (heated at very high temperature) until all the volatiles and moisture are driven out of the sample residue in the ...
A Gooch crucible, named after Frank Austin Gooch, [1] is a filtration device for laboratory use (and was also called a Gooch filter [2]). It is convenient for collecting a precipitate directly within the vessel in which it is to be dried, possibly ashed , and finally weighed in gravimetric analysis .
A crucible and its lid are pre-weighed after thorough drying. The sample is added to the completely dry crucible and lid and together they are weighed to determine the mass of the sample by difference. The sample is placed in the hot furnace long enough so that complete combustion of the sample occurs. The crucible, lid and ash then are re-weighed.
Weigh the empty crucible that the sample is to be placed in and record its weight in a lab book. Place the sample in the empty crucible and weigh the crucible again with the sample in it. The new weight minus the empty crucible weight is the sample's wet weight. Place the sample in the drying oven or blast furnace as required.
Alchemical symbols were used to denote chemical elements and compounds, as well as alchemical apparatus and processes, until the 18th century. Although notation was partly standardized, style and symbol varied between alchemists.
A Hessian crucible is a type of ceramic crucible that was manufactured in the Hesse region of Germany from the late Middle Ages through the Renaissance period. They were renowned for their ability to withstand very high temperatures, rapid changes in temperature, and strong reagents .
A pipeclay triangle is a piece of laboratory apparatus that is used to support a crucible being heated by a Bunsen burner or other heat source. It is made of wires strung in an equilateral triangle on which are strung hollow ceramic, normally fire clay, tubes. The triangle is usually supported on a tripod or iron ring.
Since crucible tongs work with the crucible, one must know the safety procedures of the crucible. Before using the crucible, make sure that it is dry; Fill the crucible with sample chemicals to only 1/2 or 2/3, do not fill until it is full; If the user used the crucible to fuse the glass, waiting for the crucible to cool down before cleaning it
