Okay, so I apologize if this is stupid, but what, if anything, is the difference between a round bottom flask and a Florence flask?
I never got to use Florence flasks in my high school chemistry class, so it's hard to remember, but I know I've seen them, and I don't remember them
needing a cork ring, but I may be wrong. If so, though, that means that they have flat bottoms, and that's the difference.

When people refer to Florence flasks they usually mean a boiling flask with a single long neck and a non-ground top.
Like this:
Boiling flasks are generally round bottom flasks with 1-4 ground glass openings.
Like this:
You want boiling flasks, with ground glass. Almost all of my glass is 24/40.

I know this seems nit-picky... But really?
Just Google florence flask...Vhin - 25-5-2012 at 13:44

I would, and did. Didn't help - everything defines the two too vaguely to really understand the difference. I probably could've found it eventually,
but I figured it would be easier to just, you know, ask people who use them.
