About this document
Boiling Chips in Distillation by kyra_kay226 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Boiling chips are commonly used in distillation to facilitate boiling. They are made of inert materials like glass or porcelain that do not contaminate distillates. While contamination is unlikely if used properly, students should take precautions. Boiling chips could potentially break and contaminate solutions with glass fragments if the wrong type or weak chips are used. Students should select appropriate chips and add them to hot solvents to prevent contamination.
