Glassware Identification
Presentation will be on my website as well for review. You will write the name and description of each item and a quick drawing if needed. Presentation will be on my website as well for review. Glassware ID quiz next class as well as lab safety quiz. ----- Meeting Notes (9/2/11 11:43) -----
Beaker General purpose glassware Used to mix solutions, transport chemicals Heat chemicals at relatively low temperatures Not used for measuring volumes
Erlenmeyer Flask Also general purpose glassware Functions same as beaker The sloped sides make it good at mixing/swirling liquids
Test tube General purpose, mixing chemicals Can easily examine contents
Test tube rack Supports test tubes Warning: hot test tubes will melt it.
Graduated Cylinder Accurately measures liquid volumes 50mL and 10mL
Watch glass Use to slowly and gently evaporate liquids Can be used as a lid for beakers
Rubber Stopper Used as a “lid” for flasks and test tubes
Scoopula Transfer solids, scoop chemicals
