q1 laboratory apparatus

• Beaker - for mixing, stirring, and heating

  
• Reagent Bottle (Media Bottles) - hold chemicals in powder/liquid form
• Erlenmeyer Flask (Conical Flask) - easy mixing/stirring without risk of spilling, used mostly in titration

  
• Florence Flask (Boiling Flask) - round bottom long neck designed for uniform heating, boiling, and distillation

  
• Test Tube - holds small samples used for qualitative assessment and comparison

  
• Test Tube Holder - holds test tubes while heating

  
• Test tube rack - holds test tubes upright

  
• Test tube brush - cleaning test tube

  
• Wash bottle - for rinsing equipment

  
• Bunsen burner - flammable gas source

  
• Alcohol lamp -for heating, sterilizing, combusting. Uses ethyl/spirit/denatured alcohol as fuel

  
• Laboratory tripod - three-legged platform that supports vessels

  
• wire gauze - used to distribute heat evenly

  
• watch glass - holds small amount of a liquid or solid. Can also be used as a lid for beaker

  
• petri dish - used for observing biochemical reactions

  
• funnel - allows solid/liquids to flow through narrow opening. For lab setting only

  
• Graduated cylinder - primary measuring tool for volume

  *for transparent liquids - read at meniscus

  *for darker liquids - read at the top

  
• volumetric flask - for measuring exact volumes of liquid

  *the line indicates where to stop in order to get exact measurement

  
• dropper - squeezes liquid in small drops

  
• Pipette - measures exact volume, used for transferring liquids

  *different colors indicate different capacities

  
• burette - a long graduated cylinder with a stopcock which controls an amount of liquid being released. Used in titrations

  
• iron stand (ring stand) - suspends a vessel above other containers or a heat source

  
• tongs - for grabbing things that shouldn't be touched

  
• forceps - grabbing small things

  
• laboratory thermometer - measures temperature of objects, specifically for lab use only and not designed for human applications

  
• crucible - ceramic bowl used to heat materials like metal to high temperatures

  
• mortar and pestle - to crush, and grind ingredients to powder or thin paste
• aspirator - collects materials by suction. comes with pipette

  
• compound and digital microscope - used to view very small specimen

  *compound light microscope uses natural light

  *image attached is digital

  
• microscope slide - comes with microscope. holds specimen

  
• vernier caliper - precise measuring of dimensions

  
• pH meter - measures acidity and alkalinity

  *pH - power of hydrogen/potential of hydrogen

  
• triple beam balance - measures mass less than 610g accurately

  
• u-shaped magnet - ends are pointed in same direction which causes stronger attraction

  
• bar magnet - may be used as stirrers in magnetic experiments

  
• spring balance - measures weight of object

  A) spring balance

  
• prism - used to divide light into its constituent colours for observing reflected light

  
• metal slinky - used for demonstrating waves

  
• pH universal indicator - basis for determining acidity and alkalinity in a solution from a 1-14 value range

  
• lab weights - used for calibrating weighing scales

  *no. on the bottom indicates weight
