Laboratory

• Beaker

  • Hold solids or liquids that will not release gases when reacted or are unlikely to splatter if stirred or heated

  • Evaporating Dish
  • Crucible
• Florence Flask

  • Rarely used in first year chemistry, used for mixing chemicals with a narrow neck to prevent splash exposure
• Beaker Tongs

  • Used to move beakers containing hot liquids
• Erlenmeyer Flask

  • Hold solids or liquids that may release gases during a reaction or that are likely to splatter if stirred or heated
• Spot Plates

  • Used when performing many small scale reactions at one time
• Test Tube Racks

  • For holding and organizing test tubes on the laboratory counter. After washing flip test tube over on wooden peg to dry
• Glass Stir Rod

  • Used to manually stir solutions and transfer a single drop of a solution
• Watch Glass

  • Used to hold a small amount of solid, such as the product of a reaction
• Crucible

  • Used for heating certain solids, particularly metals, to very h
• Equipment for a laboratory

  • Evaporating Dish
  • Crucible
  • Clay Triangle
  • Crucible Tongs
  • Ringstand
  • Utility Clamps
  • Iron Ring
  • Wire Gauze
  • Double Buret Clamps
  • Triangular File
  • Litmus Paper
  • Gas Collecting Bottle
  • Medicine Dropper
  • Mohr Pipet
  • Glass Plates
  • Spatulas
• Crucible Tongs

  For handling hot crucibles; also used to pick up other hot objects. NOT to be used for picking up beakers
• Iron Ring

  Connects to a ringstand and provides a stable, elevated platform for the reaction
• Clay Triangle

  Used as a support for porcelain crucibles when being heated over a Bunsen burner
• Do not operate the striker repeatedly just to see the sparks
• Ringstand

  A safe and convenient way to perform reactions that require heating using a Bunsen burner
• Double Buret Clamps

  Used to hold burets – long graduated tubes used in titration
• Glass Plates

  Provide a surface for semi-micro scale experiments, such as drop reactions and testing of acids and bases
• Spatulas

  Used to dispense solid chemicals from their containers. Chemicals should never be transferred with bare hands
