Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the use of stemless funnels instead of long-stem funnels to filter hot solutions through filter paper should be explained.

Concept introduction:

The funnel is a tube that is narrow at the bottom but wide at the top. It is used to pour liquids or power through a small opening. It is generally made up of stainless steel, aluminium, glass or plastic. The material used to make funnels is chosen in such a way that it does not react with the other substances.

Following are some of the types of funnels:

  1. Filter funnels
  2. Thisle funnel
  3. Dropping funnel
  4. Buchner funnel
  5. Hirsch funnel
  6. Tullgren funnel
  7. Separatory funnel
