Recovery Flask: practical apparatus
What Recovery Flask Is Used For
Recovery Flask is practical apparatus for heating, cooling, or collecting substances during distillation. 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 recovery flask to heating, cooling, or collecting substances during distillation, rather than only saying that it is used in a lab.
