Key Stage 3
Meaning
A reaction vessel is a container designed for chemical reactions to take place inside.
About Reaction Vessels
- In industry reaction vessels are made of unreactive metals.
- In a laboratory most reaction vessels are made of glass or ceramic since they are unreactive so do not interfere with the reaction taking place.
- Reaction vessels in the lab include:

About Reaction Vessels
- In industry reaction vessels are made of unreactive metal alloys with a high melting point such as stainless steel.
- In a laboratory most reaction vessels are made of glass or ceramic since they are unreactive so do not interfere with the reaction taking place and have a high melting point so they are not damaged during an exothermic chemical reaction.
