GLASS MANIPULATION
OBJECT: — To lear how to cut, bend and draw out glass tubes; to leam the fundamental of
glass blowing. To leam how to bore corks and push glass tubes through corks.
APPARATUS AND MATERIALS:
DISCUSSION: Glass is usually supplied in straight forms, which frequently must be
modified before using. Glass becomes plastic when hot, and the essential secret of
successful glass work is to get the glass sufficiently hot. Most student trouble in glass
working stems from the failure to get the glass hot enough. Keep these in mind going
through this operation.
PROCEDURE:
1. Cutting the glass tubing and glass rods.
Place the glass tubing about 20 em long, flat on the table and at the desired point make
a single deep scratch with a sharp triangular file. Place the thumbs directly below the mark,
cover the glass with a rag and break the rod by applying a gentle pressure to a single gentle
pressure rotating at the tip of the Bunsen burner flame. This is to prevent the sharp edges of
the glass from cutting the corks or rubber tubing.
2. Bending Glass Tubing.
To bend glass tubing properly, it must be heated uniformly over a distance of about 3
to 5 cm. Take a piece of glass tubing about 30 om long and hold it lengthwise in the flame.
Gently rotate it so that all side may be equally heated, when it becomes sufficiently soft (the
heated tubing becomes pink in color and to sag gently), take it out of the flame and make the
desired complete bend in single motion without too much delay. Try to: get a good of the
angle wanted before you begin to work so that you may work rapidly and secured the desired
bend at once.
Reheating and rebending procedure slightly and often frail apparatus,
Note: In all operations requiring the applications of strong heat to glass, the heat must be
applied gently at first. Highly heated glass must be cooled slowly; otherwise, it
becomes brittle and easily broken,
3, Drawing out Glass Tubes
Capillary tubes or glass tubing with a small bore is made by heating the tube in the
flame. The tube must. be constantly rotated to prevent the soften portion from sagging.
Quickly removed it from the flame, wait for a split second and pull the ends apart until the
bore is of desired size. A nozzle may be made in this manner. The tubing is cut in the proper
place and then fired- polished.4, Glass Blowing
Heat the end of the glass tube until it is sealed, continue heating and rotating the tube
until the tip sag, remove from the flame and blow immediately through the open end.
5. Boring Corks and Rubber Stoppers
Select a cork of such size that the smaller and will just enter your hard glass tube.
Soften it in a cork press, or by rolling it between the table top and the palm of the hand, select
a sharp cork borer one size smaller than the tube to be inserted. Place the cork on the desk and
cut the half through it with the borer under the pressure, then reverse the cork and bore
through from the end. Smooth the walls of the hole in the cork with a round file. If the hole
bored is too small, enlarged it by carefully filling it with a round file, only small adjustments
should be made in this way. Rubber stoppers can be bored in same manner as described
above. Use grease or oil to lubricate the borer.
6. Pushing Glass Tubes through Corks or Rubber Stoppers.
This operation is the commonest cause of accident in the laboratory. Wet the cork and
glass tube, or smear the tube with very little Vaseline. Group the glass tubing close to the end
which is to be inserted into the cork. Carefully work it through with the screw like motion, if
you grasp the glass tube at the considerable distance from the cork it is opt to soap when
inserted, and jogged end of the glass may be thrust through your hand.SOUTHERN MINDANAO COLLEGES

COMMON LABORATORY OPERATIONS
OBJECT: — To learn common laboratory techniques and operations
APPARATUS AND MATERIALS:
PROCEDURE:
1, MEASUREMENT OF LIQUIDS.
For ordinary purposes, the graduated cylinder is used for measuring volumes
of liquids. For more accurate measurements, burettes, pipets and volumetric flasks are
used. With your graduated cylinder, measure the volume of water which your beaker
and flask can hold. In reading the volume, keep the eye on level with the lower
meniscus of the liquid.
2. POURING LIQUIDS.
Tn pouring liquids from one vessel to another, care must be taken to prevent the
liquid from running down the side of the vessel from which it is being poured. Fill a
beaker with water. Hold a glass rod or a piece of glass tubing against the lip of the
beaker and pour the water slowly into an empty beaker.
3. HEATING LIQUIDS IN TEST TUBES
Partly fill the test tube with water and grasp it with a test tube holder. Bring the
water to a boil by holding the tube at an angle of 45° and by passing it back and forth
over the tip of flame. The heat should be applied to the upper portion of the liquid but
should not strike the tube above the level of the liquid, but if the flame place upon the
flask above the liquid, the glass become so hot that it cracks when the liquid touches
it, On the other hand, if heat is supplied only to the lowest part of the test tube,
suddenly it cracks at the bottom of the tube.in heating liquids, never point the test tube
towards anyone.
4, PRECIPITATION
Place 3 ml of a solution of sodium chloride in a test tube and slowly add to this
2 ml of silver nitrate solution. Describe the result. The solid is formed known as a
precipitate and in this case, it is insoluble silver chloride,
Allow the precipitate silver to settle and then add a few more drops of the
silver nitrate solution, if more silver chloride seen to form, it is an indication that the
initial precipitation was not completed. Repeat this operation until no more precipitate
is formed. This indicates that complete precipitation has occurred. Keep the mixture
for part 5.
5. FILTRATION
