1. Lab Equipment

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

3. Graduated Cylinder 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.

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

5. Volumetric Flask Used to prepare precise standard solutions. They are only good for 1 specific volume. Comes in many sizes

6. Funnel Used to safely transfer substances from one container to another.

7. Pipet, Pump, and Bulb Used to precisely measure the volume of liquids in small amounts.

8. Berol Pipet Disposable pipets used to transfer small amounts of chemicals. Graduated pipets can precisely measure small amounts of chemicals.

9. Reagent Bottle Used to store, transport, or view reagents such as acids or bases.

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

11. Test Tubes and Rack Used to hold chemicals/tubes while experimenting. Not for measuring precisely. Waft! Aim away from faces. Sizes vary. Label tubes.

12. Buret and Buret Clamp Used for precisely measuring dispensed liquids Holds buret to ring stand. Single burette clamp Buret

13. Test Tube Brushes Cleaning. You must clean tubes before and after you use.

14. Test Tube Holder Used for carrying or holding hot test tubes.

15. Thermometer Measuring temperature. Use metric!!

16. Hot Plate Used to heat substances.

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

18. Rubber Tubing Used for a variety of things. Example: –Connecting Bunsen burner to gas valve stem. –Connecting glass tubing together.

19. Wire Mesh or Gauze Used to absorb and spread the heat of flame. Keeps glassware from cracking and breaking. Part of ring stand set-up.

20. Clay Triangle 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.

21. Crucible and Cover Used for heating substances. Can withstand high direct heat.

22. Crucible Tongs Used to carry crucible.

23. Beaker Tongs Used to carry beakers.

24. Mortar and Pestle Used to grind substances into powder or slurry.

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

26. Glass Rods Used to stir substances. Clean in between uses.

27. Capillary Tubes Used to collect liquid through the process of capillary action.

28. Watch Glass Used to show chemical reactions. Petri dish

29. Dropper and Bottle Used to measure out small amounts of liquids for experiments.

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

31. Gravity Filtration and vacuum filtration To separate precipitated materials from liquids

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

33. Digital Balance Used to accurately measure mass.
