Visuals, Spellings, and Uses The Right tool for the job!

 Beakers are used for holding various chemicals.  Not for measuring precisely.  Sizes vary.

 Used to precisely measure the volume of liquids or run experiments.  Read from the meniscus at eye level.  Plastic ring always on top if applicable.  Sizes vary.

 Used to approximately measure the volume various liquids.  Useful for mixing by swirling  Sizes vary.

 Used to boil liquids.  Also used to collect gases, if applicable.  Sizes vary.

 Used to store, transport, or view reagents such as acids or bases.

 Used to close flasks and test tubes.  The holes allow the insertion of glass tubing, probes, or thermometers as needed by the experiment.

 Used to hold chemicals/tubes while experimenting.  Not for measuring precisely.  Waft!  Aim away from faces.  Sizes vary.  Label tubes.

 Base/Pole of set- up for experimenting.  Holds glassware in place for heating or evaporating.

 Cleaning.  You must clean tubes before and after you use.

 Used for carrying or holding hot test tubes.

 Measuring temperature.  Use metric!!

 Used to heat substances.

 Used to heat substances quickly or if > 400 o C is needed.  Do not use with flammable substances.

 Used for a variety of things.  Example: ◦ Connecting Bunsen burner to gas valve stem. ◦ Connecting glass tubing together.

 Used to absorb and spread the heat of flame.  Keeps glassware from cracking and breaking.  Part of ring stand set-up.

 Used to hold a crucible in place on a ring stand.  Also helps absorb and spread heat of flame.  Part of ring stand set-up.

 Used for heating substances.  Can withstand high direct heat.

 Used to carry crucible.

 Used to carry beakers.

 Used to grind substances into powder or slurry.

 Used to scoop chemical powders.  Not a measuring instrument.  Ours do not have handles.

 Used to stir substances.  Clean in between uses.

 Used to ignite gas from a Bunsen burner.  Do not waste flint.

 Used to show chemical reactions.

 Used to evaporate excess liquids.

 Used to separate suspensions (solids from liquids).

 Used to precisely measure length.  1m = 10dm  1m = 100cm  1m = 1000mm

 Used to safely transfer substances from one container to another.

 Used to measure out small amounts of liquids for experiments.

 Usually contains deionized water.  Handy for rinsing glassware and for dispensing small amounts of dH 2 O for chemical reactions.

 Used to protect your eyes and clothing from damage.  These are a must in lab!!

 Used to accurately measure mass.  Only up to 200g in our labs.

 Measures the mass of an object.  Make certain the balance is calibrated correctly before use.

 Used to precisely measure the volume of liquids in small amounts.

 Disposable pipets used to transfer small amounts of chemicals.  Graduated pipets can precisely measure small amounts of chemicals.
