LAB APPARATUS
Wire gauze- on a ring supports
1. Beakers - to hold liquid or solid
samples. They are also used to
catch liquids from titrations
and filtrates from filtering
operations.
2. Bunsen burners -are sources of
heat.
3. Burets -are for addition of a
precise volume of liquid.
4. Clay triangles -are placed on
a ring attached to a ring
stand as a support for a
funnel, crucible, or
evaporating dish.
5. Droppers -are for addition of
liquids drop by drop
6. Erlenmeyer flasks- are useful
to contain reactions or to hold
liquid samples. They are also
useful to catch filtrates.
7. Glass funnels -are for funneling
liquids from one container to
another or for filtering
8. Graduated cylinders -are for
measurement of an amount
of liquid.
9. Pipettes -are used to dispense
small quantities of liquids.
10. Ring stand with rings or clamps
-are for holding pieces of
glassware in place.
11. Test tubes -are for holding
small samples or for containing
small-scale reactions.
12. Test tube holders -are for
holding test tubes when tubes
should not be touched
13. Tongs- are similar in function to
forceps but are useful for
larger items.
14. Watch glasses - for covering
beakers and is used to hold
solids when being weighed or
transported. They should never
be heated.
15.
beakers to be heated by
Bunsen burners
16. Florence Flasks- are used to
hold liquids and is used for
heating substances that need
to be heated evenly
17. Triple Beam Balance-
measures the mass of an
object.
18. Crucible and Cover -are used
to heat small quantities to very
high temperatures.
19. Evaporating Dish -is used to
heat and evaporates liquids.
20. Spatula- is used for moving
small amounts of solid from
place to place.
21. Mortar and Pestle -are used to
crush solids into powders for
experiments,
22. Stir rods- are used to stir things
23. test tube brush -is used to
easily clean the inside of a test
tube.
24. Test tube rack- is used to hold
test tubes while reactions
happen in them
25. Thermometer -is used to take
temperature of solids, liquids,
and gases
26. Volumetric flask -is used to
measure one specific volume.
27. Tripods- supports the lab ware
during heating
28. Alcohol Lamp- For gently
heating small to medium
amounts of materials.
29. Reagent bottle-
contain chemicals in liquid or
powder form and stored
in cabinets
30. Microscope- is
an instrument used to see
objects that are too small for
the naked eye.
