1. Describe the general procedure on how to wash glassware used for organic lab experiments. Also, include what the common solvent used to wash organic glassware

Explanation:

As a number of glassware are used in lab experiments so it is necessary that they should be cleaned properly after and before the experiment.

This can be done as follows.

1). At first acetone is used to rinse the glassware. If water soluble contents present in the glassware then use deionized water after rinsing it with acetone and if ethanol soluble components are present there then rinse with ethanol followed by rinses with deionized water.

2). When glassware are dirty in such a manner that they cannot be washed immediately then soak them in water for a certain period of time. This can help in removing the dirt or chemicals easily from the glassware.

3). The laboratory glassware can be easily washed with detergents or products like lab wash, alconox etc. Once these glassware are thoroughly cleaned then rinse them 3 times with deionized water.
