Column Cap: practical apparatus
What Column Cap Is Used For
Column Cap is practical apparatus for supporting separation or purification work. In A-level Chemistry, the annotated diagram helps connect the apparatus to the method, measurement, or observation being tested.
How To Use It In An Exam Answer
Use the marker labels to name the apparatus first, then say why it is suitable. A strong answer links column cap to supporting separation or purification work, rather than only saying that it is used in a lab.
