Product Code : EL-LEAA-10543
Mortar and Pestle (code EL-LEAA-10543) is a two-piece porcelain set used to crush solid chemicals into smaller pieces or grind them to a fine powder, so that they dissolve more readily when solutions are made. The pestle handle and mortar exterior are glazed, while the mortar interior and the base of the pestle are left unglazed for grinding; the deep form mortar has a pouring spout on the rim, and sizes run from 80 ml to 500 ml capacity.

What Is the Mortar and Pestle Used For?
Grinding increases the surface area of a solid, which speeds up dissolving and reactions, so solids are often powdered before solutions are prepared or samples are tested. The material is placed in the mortar, and the pestle is pressed down and worked round against the unglazed inner surface, first to break lumps and then to reduce them to powder; the rough unglazed faces grip the particles in a way that smooth glaze cannot. The powder is tipped out through the pouring spout. The deep form keeps material from escaping while it is worked, and the capacity, from 80 ml to 500 ml, is chosen for the batch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are parts of the set unglazed?
The interior of the mortar and the bottom of the pestle are left unglazed because the rougher porcelain grips the particles and grinds them more effectively than a smooth glazed face.
What capacities are offered?
Sets range from 80 ml to 500 ml capacity, so a small mortar can be used for a little chemical and a large one for bigger batches.
What is the difference between the mortar and the pestle?
The mortar is the bowl in which the chemical is placed, and the pestle is the club-shaped piece used to crush and grind it against the bowl.
Why grind a solid before making a solution?
Crushing a solid into small pieces or a fine powder exposes more surface to the solvent, so it dissolves faster and more completely.
Does the mortar have a spout?
Yes. The rim has an integrated pouring spout, which lets the ground powder be tipped into a container or onto a balance pan.
