What is a thistle funnel?
Thistle funnels are used to add small volumes of liquids to an exact position. Thistle funnels are found with or without taps. The thistle tube shaft is designed to allow insertion through a small hole present in some stoppers, permitting the tube to be inserted into a container such as an Erlenmeyer flask.
What are thistle funnel made of?
borosilicate glass

Why should thistle funnel be dipped in acid?
The end of the thistle funnel should be dipped under acid to prevent the escape of gas from the thistle funnel.
What is the aim of thistle funnel experiment?
Hint: The thistle funnel experiment is widely used for the demonstration of osmosis. Osmosis is defined as a process in which molecules of a solvent or water tend to move across a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution.
What is the aim of Thistle funnel experiment?
What is the use of thistle funnel in experiment?
Thistle funnel is a piecee of laboratory glassware consisting of a shaft of tube with a reservoir and funnel like section at top. It is used to pour acids in a beaker for reaction between acids and metal carbonate or metal hydrogen carbonate.
Why does the sugar solution rise in the thistle tube over time?
The sucrose solution is hypertonic to the water – it is a more concentrated solution. There is a net movement of water molecules, by osmosis , from the water outside to the sucrose solution inside the Visking tubing. This makes the liquid level in the capillary tube rise.
Why does the water molecules move from beaker to the thistle funnel?
The concentration of water molecules in the beaker is more than their concentration inside the thistle funnel. Therefore, water molecules move from the region of higher concentration to lower concentration.
What is the area between your legs called?
