side-arm distillation flask
Sometimes referred to simply as a "distilling flask", this piece of glassware consists of a small, spherical bulb at the bottom of a long neck, with a long, skinny arm portruding downward at an angle to the neck. These flasks are used to efficiently distill small amounts of liquid. They are especially useful in the Qualitative Organic Analysis labs either to determine the boiling point of a liquid unknown, or to purify a small amount of liquid unknown. The top of the neck is tooled to accomodate a rubber thermometer adapter.
