Lab equipment Flashcards
Stir rod
used to manually stir solutions. It also can be used to transfer a single drop of a solution
Crucible tongs
used to hold hot crucibles, NOT to be used for picking up beakers
Spatulas
uses to dispense solid chemicals from their containers
Ring stand
used for a safe and convenient was to perform reactions that require heating using a Bunsen burner
Wire gauze
sits on the iron ring to provide a place to stand a beaker
Weighing boat
provides a surface for a hot beaker so that the beaker does not come in contact with s cold counter top and shatter
Erlenmeyer flask
used to hold solids or liquids that may release gases during a reaction or that are likely to splatter if stirred or heated
balance
used to see what weight can balance out your substance/solution
Clay triangle
used as a support for porcelain crucibles when being heated over a Bunsen burner
graduated cylinder
used to measure the volume of liquids
test tubes
used to set a solution in
watch glass
used to hold a small amount of solid, such as the product of a reaction
forceps
used to pick up small objects
Bunsen burner
used for the heating of nonvolatile liquids and solids
Test tube holders
used for holding a tube witch is to hot to handle
Beaker
used to hold solids or liquids that do not release gases when reacted or are unlikely to splatter if stirred or heated
beaker tongs
used for holding a beaker that it too hot to handle
utility clamp
used to secure test tubes, distillation columns, and burets to the ring stand
iron ring
used to connect to a ring stand and provide a stable, elevated platform for the reaction
glass plate
provide a surface for semi-micro scale experiments
dropper
used to drop small amounts of a solution/substance to another solution
wash bottle
delivers a wash solution to a specific area
Florence flask
used for the mixing of chemicals
Test tube brushes
used to clean the inside of the test tube after you have done an experiment
Pipet
measures and delivers exact volumes of liquids
Crucible
used for heating certain solids, particularly metals, to very high temperatures
Evaporating dish
used to hold a liquid that is being evaporated
