näyteputkia
Näyteputkia, also known as demonstration tubes or demonstration flasks, are specialized glassware used in educational and scientific settings to showcase chemical reactions and principles. These tubes are typically made of borosilicate glass, which is resistant to thermal shock and chemical corrosion, making it suitable for heating and handling various chemicals. The design of näyteputkia often includes a narrow neck and a wide base, which allows for easy observation of reactions and the collection of gases produced during the process. The tubes are often fitted with a rubber stopper or a ground glass joint, enabling them to be connected to other glassware or apparatus. They are commonly used in chemistry laboratories, schools, and educational demonstrations to illustrate concepts such as acid-base reactions, gas laws, and chemical equilibria. The use of näyteputkia in educational settings helps to engage students and make abstract scientific concepts more tangible and understandable.
