• erlenmeyer flask - used to hold liquids and solids that may release gas
• florence flask - used to mix chemicals and prevents splash exposure
• graduated cylinder - used to measure volumes of liquids
• test tubes - used to mix chemicals
• test tube holder - used to hold hot test tubes
• test tube brushes - used to clean test tubes and graduated cylinders
• test tube racks - used to hold and organize test tubes
• rubber stoppers - used to close containers to avoid spillage
• spot plates - used to perform many small scale reactions at one time
• glass stir rod - used to manually stir solutions
• forceps - used to pick up small objects
• funnels - used to aid in the transfer of liquids from one vessel to another
• watch glass - used to hold small amounts of liquids
• wash bottle - used to deliver a wash solution to a specific area
• weighing boat - used to weigh solids that will be transferred to another vessel
• bunsen burner - used to heat nonvolatile liquids and solids
• striker - used to light bunsen burners
• evaporating dish - used to heat stable solid compounds and elements
• crucible - used to heat certain solids, particularly metals
• clay triangle - used to support porcelain crucibles when being heated over a bunsen burner
• crucible tongs - used to hold hot crucibles and other hot objects (except beakers)
• ringstand - a place where you put the bunsen burner or alcohol lamp
• utility clamps - used to secure test tubes, distillation columns, and burets to ringstand
• iron ring - connected to ringstand and provides a stable and elevated platform for the reaction

  • serves as a base for wire gauze
• wire gauze - a place where the beaker stands

  • sits on iron ring
• double buret clamps - used to hold burets
• triangular file - used to cut glass rod
• litmus paper - red = identifies bases, blue = identifies acids
• gas collecting bottle - used when large volumes of gas are produced
• medicine dropper - used to transfer small volumes of liquid (less than one mL)

  • on top of medicine dropper is a rubber bulb
• mohr pipet - measures and delivers exact volume of liquid
• glass plates - where you place your specimen
• spatula - used to dispense solid chemicals from their container
• alcohol lamp - used for heating and uses alcohol as fuel
