Question 23

It is an airtight container which maintains an atmosphere of low humidity through the
use of a suitable drying agent which occupies the bottom part of the device. heated
objects and for the storage of dry objects that must not be exposed to the moisture
normally present in the atmosphere.

Answer 23

Desiccator

Question 24

[Types of Desiccators] This desiccator type requires manual operation and monitoring.
It is flexible as any type of desiccant can be employed (silica gel beads, activated
charcoal, clay molecular sieves, etc) based on economics and convenience.

Answer 24

Standard Desiccator

Question 25

[Types of Desiccators] A slow steady flow of inert gas (dry nitrogen) is supplied to achieve a low humidity level much faster than desiccants.

Answer 25

Gas Purge Desiccator

Question 26

[Types of Desiccators] This desiccator requires minimal manual monitoring than the standard desiccator because of its ability to regenerate the desiccants. The electric fans and heaters present it continuously regenerate the desiccant by preventing saturation and automatically maintaining a low-humidity environment. It uses silica gel beads as desiccants. These desiccants last for thousands of regeneration cycles. It operates on a set schedule of desiccation followed by a regeneration period.

Answer 26

Automated Desiccator

Question 27

[Types of Desiccators] removes air and moisture through the use of a vacuum pump. The use of a vacuum pump reduces humidity which helps to evacuate air from the chamber and also reduces oxygen level.

Answer 27

Vacuum Desiccator

Question 28

- These are laboratory equipment with a wide base and narrow, tubular neck. These flasks come in a range of sizes, materials & are used for varied purposes. - It is used to contain liquids and for mixing, heating, cooling, incubation, filtration, storage, and other liquid-handling processes. Their slanted sides and narrow necks allow the contents to be mixed by swirling without the risk of spills, which is useful for titrations and for boiling liquids.
