What are Mortars and Pestels?
A Mortar is a vessel in which substances are positioned or crushed with a pestle. A pestle is a tool used to crush, smash, or grind substances in a mortar. In the solid state, chemical laboratory mortar and pestle is often used to prepare reactants for a solid state synthesis.
Mortars and pestles come in a diversity of shapes and sizes. The kind of mortar and pestle used in the preparation of a solid state material is very imperative. If the sample being ground is harder than the material comprising the mortar, then the vital contamination of the sample can be expected. For this reason, porcelain is not characteristically utilized for solid state synthesis.
