More lab apparatuses

Soon, we moved on to learning at a greater detail on the other apparatuses such as
the boiling tubes,
the test tubes,
the conical flask,
the round-bottomed flask,
the flat-bottomed flask,
retort stands,and so on...
What captures me the most was the round-bottomed flask as i did not know how it can be balanced on a tripod stand or what uses are there of it being rounded at the bottom. But i soon learned that it should be attached to a retort stand over the bunsen burner if there is a need to heat anything and the round bottom was to spread the heat pretty much evenly.
