Lab Equipment
2
Beaker Measures Volume
Beakers hold solids or liquids that are unlikely to splatter if heated or stirred. Measures Volume
3
Erlenmeyer Flask Measures Volume
Holds solids or liquids that may release gases during a reaction or that are likely to splatter if stirred or heated. Measures Volume
4
Florence Flask Rarely used in first year chemistry, it is used for the mixing of chemicals. Narrow neck prevents splash exposure.
5
Graduated Cylinder A graduated cylinder is used to measure volumes of liquids.
6
Mohr Pipet A Mohr pipet measures and delivers exact volumes of liquids.
7
Test Tubes 13 x 100 mm test tubes 10 x 75 mm test tubes
8
Test Tube Holder A test tube holder is useful for holding a test tube which is too hot to handle.
9
Test Tube Racks Test tube racks are for holding and organizing test tubes on the laboratory counter. Plastic racks may melt in contact with very hot test tubes.
10
Test Tube Brushes Test tube brushes are used to clean test tubes and graduated cylinders. Forcing a large brush into a small test tube will often break the tube.
11
Rubber Stoppers Rubber stoppers are used to close containers to avoid spillage or contamination. Containers should never be heated when there is a stopper in place.
12
Spot Plates Spot plates are used when we want to perform many small scale reactions at one time.
13
Watch Glass A watch glass is used to hold a small amount of solid, such as the product of a reaction.
14
Glass Stirring Rod A glass rod is used to manually stir solutions. It can also be used to transfer a single drop of a solution.
15
Forceps Forceps (or tweezers) are used to pick up small objects.
16
Funnel A funnel is used to aid in the transfer of liquid from one vessel to another.
17
Spatulas Spatulas are used to dispense solid chemicals from their containers. Chemicals should never be transferred with your bare hands.
18
Wash Bottle A wash bottle has a spout that delivers a wash solution to a specific area.
19
Weighing Boat Weighing boats are used to weigh solids that will be transferred to another vessel.
20
Beaker Tongs Beaker tongs are used to move beakers containing hot liquids
21
Bunsen Burner Bunsen burners are used for the heating of nonvolatile liquids and solids.
22
Ringstands and their Components
Ringstands are a safe and convenient way to perform reactions that require heating using a Bunsen burner.
23
Ringstands and their Components Iron Rings
Iron rings connect to a ringstand and provide a stable, elevated platform for the reaction.
24
Ringstands and their Components Wire Gauze
Wire gauze sits on the iron ring to provide a place to stand a beaker. On older wire gauze, the white material is asbestos!
25
Ringstands and their Components Utility Clamps
Utility clamps are used to secure test tubes, distillation columns, and burets to the ringstand.
26
Ringstands and their Components Double Buret Clamps
Used to hold burets – long graduated tubes used in titration.
27
Crucible Crucibles are used for heating certain solids, particularly metals, to very high temperatures.
28
Clay Triangle The clay triangle is used as a support for porcelain crucibles when being heated over a Bunsen burner.
29
Crucible Tongs For handling hot crucibles; also used to pick up other hot objects. NOT to be used for picking up beakers!
30
Evaporating Dish The evaporating dish is used for the heating of stable solid compounds and elements.
31
Mortar and pestle Used to grind chemicals Into a fine powder
32
Triangular File Triangular files are used primarily to cut a glass rod.
33
Litmus Paper Red litmus paper is used to identify bases.
Blue litmus paper is used to identify acids.
34
Strikers Strikers are used to light Bunsen burners.
The flints on strikers are expensive. Do not operate the striker repeatedly just to see the sparks!
