1. Boiling chipA boiling chip or boiling stone is a small, irregularly shaped piece of material added to liquids to make them boil more smoothly. Boiling chips are frequently employed in distillation and heating. When a liquid becomes superheated, a particle of dust or a stirring rod can cause flash boiling. This very rapid boiling can be extremely violent and cause reagents to splatter, possibly causing severe burns, ruining an experiment, and damaging equipment.
