Why is it preferable to add boiling stones into the mixture in the distillation flask during distillation?
The reasons are:- to avoid splashing due to overheating- to calm the boiling
What effect does the condensation have on distillation when liquid is runnung from the bottom of the distillation column back into the distillation flask?
returning condensate is rich in high boiling point allowing lower boiling point substance to distill over.
What is the name of the round glass vessel used in a lab for distillation?
Distillation (round bottom) flask or bulb.The lower one is called the 'boiler' or 'still', the other is the 'receiver' or 'condenser'
What is distillation flask?

What is a Flat Bottomed Flask and what is it used for?
Flat bottomed flasks are used for the same purposes as round bottomed flasks. The differences are: 1. the flat bottomed flask can stand alone, is more robust but not specifically designed to withstand open flames. 2. the round bottomed flask, also called a Florence or boiling flask, can withstand open flame for long periods, allows for more even heating of its contents, facilitates swirling, and requires supporting apparatus since it cannot stand alone on its spherical bottom.
What happens if the distillation flask is not securely attached to the distillation head?
If a flask is not well secured to the head, all the gas will run out of the distiller.
