Fasdar posted:On that note: Does anyone know of a good site or guide regarding chemistry glassware - namely, why everything always looks so fragile and dangerous and yet somehow obviously purpose built? A lot of them are blown glass, so they can't be too rugged. That's a big fuckoff ampoule, and those are usually pretty tough. You basically take a glass tube in an inert atmosphere, fill it with whatever you want, then torch off the end and let it cool to seal it. To open it, you snap off that bit at the neck and if it's well-made it'll be a clean break.

Separatory funnels were always a lot of fun in my chemistry classes. All the videos I can find involve people using them properly, I want to see one of the big fuckers explode from vapor pressure.buttcoinbrony posted:That design above just looks destined to fail though. Drop it onto the tip and the narrowest/smallest part of the glass has to take the load. I trust you that they're sturdier than they look, because they don't look very sturdy at all. I'm pretty sure they don't let you touch the $40,000 ampoule of pure caesium if you're the kind of person who's prone to the dropsies.

I came across this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC3o2KgQstA trying to find fun chemistry stuff.. Kind of makes that sulfuric acid + sugar trick look like babytown frolics.
