Q3: Why is the glass tube of a small diameter chosen for drawing out a jet?

Answer:

Because a larger diameter tube would have to be stretched too far, a small diameter glass tube was chosen.

Q4: Why should the diameter of the borer be less than the diameter of the tube to be inserted in the hole?

Answer:

This is done to ensure that the tube fits tightly in the hole.

Q5: What is the role of glycerine in the process of boring?

Q9: What is the use of a wash bottle?

Answer:

It’s used to produce a thin stream of water for cleaning or transferring precipitate.

Q10: Why is the glass tube of a smaller diameter chosen for drawing out a jet?
