LABORATORY GLASSWARES Flashcards
All TD-type glassware is calibrated in
milliliters (mL)
a metal or a plastic with rubber knob that can be attached to iron stand, used to
hold a fixed position of a burette.
buret clamp
quantity of the liquid corresponds to the capacity printed on the glassware
To contain
Blue litmus paper turns red
acid
These glassware may be used to measure approximately or accurately the volume of liquids.
TD
a thin sheet of metal with net-like crosses, used to support glassware during
experimental set up that requires heating.
wire gauze
a thin glass tube closed at one end, used to hold small amounts of material for
laboratory testing or experiments.
test tube
The bottom of the meniscus is the
level of solution
does not offer protection from air disturbances because it does not have a draft shield
top loading balance
is extremely sensitive and, since air currents can affect the measurement, it must be covered by a draft shield.
analytical balance
For the pipette (and even burette), the
volume is read after the liquid has
been
dispensed.
a round, concave glass surface used to evaporate the liquid, to weigh solid
samples, as a cover for a beaker for heating.
watch glass
a long graduated glass tube with stopcock at one end, used to deliver accurate volume of liquid especially in titration.
Buret
a glass or plastic narrow cylindrical shape glassware, used to measure the volume of a liquid.
graduated cylinder
used for samples up to about 320 g.
analytical balance
a metal, wood, or plastic clamp used to hold test tubes while heating
test tube holder
Are TD-type glassware used to accurately deliver single (volumetric pipette) or variable (measuring pipette) volumes of liquid
pipettes
a rubber bulb that serves as a vacuum source for filling reagents through a
pipette.
pipette bulb
a stainless steel metal, used to grasp and hold small objects
forceps
a brush used for cleaning test tubes and narrow mouth laboratory glassware, such as beakers and flasks.
