 is a vessel or a container into which a chemical reaction takes place.

 is a device in which change in composition of matter occurs by chemical reaction

rocket, etc.) and in certain electrochemical cells (lead-acid, fuel), in animate objects (e.g.,
the human body),etc.. The rational design of this last is rather beyond our capabilities.
