A Florence flask/boiling flask is a type of flask used as an item of laboratory glassware and is named after the——city Florence. It is used as a container to hold liquids. A Florence flask has a round body, "a long neck." And often a flat bottom. It is designed for uniform heating, boiling, distillation and ease of swirling; it is produced in a number of different glass thicknesses to stand different types of use. They are often made of borosilicate glass for heat and "chemical resistance." Traditional Florence flasks typically do not have a ground glass joint on their rather longer necks. But typically have a slight lip. Or flange around the "tip of the neck." The common volume for a Florence flask is 1 litre.
