Funnels

The separatory funnel is a laboratory glassware used to separate two immiscible liquids through decantation. It has a distinctive shape, resembling a funnel topped with a hemisphere and ending in a neck sealed with a stopper. A narrow tube extends from the funnel and is equipped with a stopcock at its lower end. During decantation, the denser liquid (lower phase) settles beneath the less dense liquid (upper phase).

Here are some common uses of a separatory funnel: liquid separation, component extraction, purification, or simply observing phase separation in a mixture.

A separatory funnel, often made of borosilicate glass, is used in three main steps:

> Adding the liquid into the funnel

> Allowing the liquids to separate

> Collecting the lower phase using the stopcock

The dropping funnel is used to add a liquid reagent to a reaction mixture in a controlled manner. It enables dropwise addition of a reagent into a flask, ensuring a precise flow rate to prevent overly rapid or hazardous reactions.

There are two types of dropping funnels:

> Non-isobaric dropping funnel: Ideal for gradually introducing a reagent into a flask for a moderate reaction.

> Isobaric dropping funnel: Used when the reagent is highly volatile, toxic, or moisture-sensitive. It maintains pressure equilibrium between the funnel and the flask, ensuring controlled reagent flow.
