GOGGLES are used to protect your eyes from broken glass, chemicals and flames. |
WATCHGLASS is used as a beaker cover.
|
FUNNEL is used with filter paper to remove undissolved solids from a liquid mixture. It also can be used to help pour a liquid into a container that has a small opening. |
STIRRING ROD is used to stir combinations of
chemicals, can also pour liquid down along it. |
EVAPORATING DISH is used as a container for heating, usually to evaporate a liquid from some chemicals. |
CLAY TRIANGLE is a frame which can support a container. It can hold a crucible during heating or can hold a funnel
during filtering. |
This all-purpose UTILITY CLAMP can be used to hold many lab equipment
items when it is attached to a ring stand. For example: test tubes,
hoses, erlenmeyer flasks, burets. |
BURET CLAMP is used to hold a buret. |
LAB TONGS can be used to hold or pick up many items, but work best as tongs for picking up a hot evaporating dish. |
CRUCIBLE TONGS are designed to pick and hold a crucible. |
BEAKER TONGS are best used to hold a hot beaker. |
HOT HANDS are a chemist's 'hot pot holder'. They are used to pick up hot glassware. |
WIRE GAUZE can be used to support a beaker or flask during heating. When the bunsen burner flame is beneath it, the wire gauze helps to spread the flame and heat out evenly over the container. |
RING CLAMP is attached to the ring stand and is used as a support. |
TEST TUBE CLAMP holds a test tube during heating. |
RUBBER STOPPER with no holes is used as a 'plug' for a test tube or
flask. When the stopper has a hole in it, a piece of tubing can be
inserted in it. |
TEST TUBE is used as a container to hold chemicals during heating or
other reactions. |
SPOT PLATE has a number of small 'wells'. Chemicals are placed into
the small wells, and the reaction can be observed. |
BALANCE is used to measure the mass of an object in grams. |
This is a close up of the numbers on the balance. |
WEIGHING PAPER looks and feels like waxed paper. It is used with the
balance so that the chemicals are placed on the paper instead of
directly on the balance. |
CHROMATOGRAPHY PAPER is used to separate a mixture. It comes in rolls, but used in short pieces. |
FORCEPS are used to pick up small items in the laboratory. |
CHEMICAL SPATULA is used to transfer chemicals. |
THERMOMETER is used to measure temperature. |
PIPET BULB is used to fill a pipet with liquid. |
WASH BOTTLE is used to rinse glassware in the chemistry lab. |
VOLUMETRIC PIPETS are used to measure liquid. |
SEPARATORY FUNNEL is a glass container. A mixture of liquids can be poured into it and allowed to separate. |
ERLENMEYER FLASK is a container which gives only approximate
measurements of volume. It is usually used as a mixing vessel or a
container for heating. |
FLORENCE FLASK is used to hold a liquid during heating. |
ROUND BOTTOM FLASK is very similar to a florence flask. |
MORTAR is the dish, and the PESTLE is the grinder. They are used to crush or grind up solid chemicals. |
GRADUATED CYLINDER is used to measure the volume of liquids in mL. |
BEAKER doesn't measure the volume of liquids very accurately. It is
usually used as a container for mixing or holding chemicals. |
VOLUMETRIC FLASK is used the measure one specific volume of liquid. |
HYDROMETER floats or sinks when placed into a liquid which is related to the density of the liquid. |
CONDUCTIVITY TESTER is used to measure whether an object conducts electricity or not. |
THISTLE TUBE is a special type of funnel. |
MAGNETIC STIR BAR is a magnet covered with teflon. |
FLINT LIGHTER is used to ignite the flame of a BUNSEN BURNER. The
gas collects inside the small cup, and the spark created ignites the
gas. |
RING STAND offers the support, and the buret clamp is holding a
buret. |
DROPPER PIPET is a medicine dropper and just dispenses small drops of liquid. |
RUBBER TUBING has a rubber stopper at one end and a PINCH CLAMP at
the other end. |
CRUCIBLE and its COVER are used to hold small amounts of chemicals
during heating at high temperatures. |
FILTER PAPER is used to separate a mixture. It feels like thick coffee filter paper and has very small holes in it. It is folded into a 'cone' shape. |
FILTERING FLASK has a side-arm which is connected to a low pressure source. This can speed up filtration. |
HOT PLATE is used as a heat source. |
