Crucible - Porcelain Medium with Lid - 50ml

This medium-walled porcelain crucible with lid is a reliable and essential item for conducting high-temperature experiments in school laboratories. With a 50ml capacity, it is designed to safely contain and heat chemical substances, making it ideal for teaching thermal decomposition, metal extraction, and various inorganic chemistry experiments. The crucible's robust ceramic construction withstands temperatures up to 850 °C and is glazed for ease of cleaning and resistance to chemical corrosion. A fitted lid helps minimise contamination and heat loss during experiments.

Benefits for Educational Use:

• Supports safe exploration of heat-based reactions and material changes.
• Provides an authentic introduction to traditional laboratory equipment.
• Encourages correct handling and care of heat-sensitive scientific apparatus.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use for thermal decomposition experiments such as heating metal carbonates.
• Demonstrate combustion or oxidation reactions by containing reactive substances.
• Introduce students to mass change through heating by recording before-and-after weights.
• Include in assessments where students demonstrate correct setup and heat safety.
