E N D
Safety Goggles • Protect eyes whenever working with chemicals in the lab
Test Tubes • Store/Mix small amounts of substances • Heat/Boil substances over a burner
Beaker • Store/Mix substances • Heat substances over a burner
Test Tube Clamp • Holds a test tube to a ring stand, usually for purposes of heating
Test Tube Holder • Allows you to hold a test tube over a burner or other heat source without burning your hand
Test Tube Rack • Stores several test tubes
Ring Stand • Clamps of any type are placed on this when setting up an experiment
Plastic Wash Bottles • Add small amounts of water to a container • Rinse out glassware • NOT A SQUIRT BOTTLE!
Ring Clamp • Clamped to a ring stand to support other equipment
Wire Gauze • Usually rests on top of a ring clamp to support a beaker being heated
Clay Triangle • Sits on a ring stand to support a crucible or a funnel
Crucible and Cover • Ceramic equipment used to heat a small amount of solid to very high temperatures
Evaporating Dish • Ceramic equipment used to drive off a small amount of liquid to leave a dry residue
Funnel • Tool to aid pouring • Supports filter paper when performing filtration
Watch Glass • Allows things to be set out to dry • Can be used as a cover for a beaker
Dropper Pipet • NOT AN EYE DROPPER! • Transfers small volumes of liquids
Stirring Rod with Rubber Policeman • Stirring Rod is used to stir mixtures • Rubber Policeman is used like a spatula, to scrape out residue • I have no idea where a rubber policeman gets its name!
Erlenmeyer Flask • All flasks have a wide base and a narrow neck • Erlenmeyer flasks are conical in shape • Used to swirl mixtures easily while avoiding spilling
Florence Flask • Again, wide at the base, narrow at the neck • Florence flasks are spherical in shape
Graduated Cylinder • Tall, narrow tube used to measure volumes of a liquid • NOTE: While beakers and flasks have graduations on them as well, they are NOT AS ACCURATE as graduated cylinders - only use cylinders to measure volume!!!
Beaker Tongs • Can “grab” beakers, especially when hot, easily to move it from one place to another (this is not on your equipment list)
Crucible Tongs • A tool for smaller, finer work, a crucible tongs is used to move hot crucibles (or other objects) • Note - tongs are NOT spelled with an “h”!
Bunsen Burner and Rubber Tubing • Bunsen Burner is a common source of heat (flame) in the lab • Rubber Tubing is a common means of carrying a gas from one place to another (for Bunsen burners, we will carry natural gas or methane)
Mortar and Pestle • Used to crush or grind solids
