Lab Apparatus Flashcards
Glassware with rounded bottom designed to contain small number of samples for reactions
Test tube
Used to clean narrow mouth laboratory glassware
Test tube brush
Used to hold multiple test tubes in an upright position
Test tube rack
Primarily used to hold small quantities of substances which will undergo direct heating (same as test tube but thicker)
Hard glass tube or ignition tube
Used as small heating source
Alcohol lamp
Clamp with a spring handle used to hold test tube (hot)
Test tube holder
Used to guide the transfer of liquids into a container with narrow opening
Stirring or glass rod
Used to transfer solid materials/chemicals from its original container onto a weighing box and other containers
Porcelain and stainless spatula
Used to draw liquid that can then be squeezed out in small drops. Be careful when using it because it can introduce air bubbles and disturb your solution.
Dropper pipet
For adding chemical solution to a reaction vessel to minimize the risk of a reaction occurring too quickly and bubbling over
Thistle tube
Used to measure an exact volume of liquid and placing it into another container. The digits indicates the exact volume measured by the single graduated marks.
Volumetric pipet
Serves as a vacuum source to draw liquids
Aspirator
Used to transfer milliliter volumes of liquid, from less than 1 mL to up to 50 mL
Serological pipet
Used for titrating alkaline solutions only because acids can react with the rubber tubing
MOHR BURET OR BASE BURET
Used for titrating acids solutions only because alkalies/bases have the property to attack the glass stopcock
GEISSLER BURET OR ACID BURET
Squeezable plastic bottle with nozzle used to dispense distilled water for rinsing
WASH BOTTLE
Used to prepare solutions to an accurate volume
VOLUMETRIC FLASK
Primary measuring tool for liquids
Graduated cylinder
Used to hold liquids and for mixing, stirring, and heating chemicals
Beaker
For uniform heating, boiling, distillation and ease of swirling
Florence flask
“Conical Flask”
Used to contain and mix chemicals, the small neck is to facilitate mixing without spilling
Erlenmeyer flask
Used for the determination of iodine, has a ground socket and cup shaped top
Iodine flask
A small- handled, deep porcelain crucible used for heating and evaporating
Porcelain casserole
