Chemistry Equipment
Beaker • doesn't measure the volume of liquids very accurately. • It is usually used as a container for mixing or holding chemicals.
Bunsen Burner • Used to heat chemicals
Metal Ring & Ring Stand • used as a support (often to heat chemicals)
Wire Gauze • used to support a container (such as a beaker or flask) during heating
Using a Bunsen Burner with a Ring Stand
Test Tubes in Test Tube Rack • A TEST TUBE is used as a container to hold chemicals during heating or other reactions, and the TEST TUBE RACK supports the test tubes.
Test Tube Tongs • holds a test tube during heating
Test Tube Clamp • used to hold many lab equipment items when it is attached to a ring stand. For example: test tubes, hoses, Erlenmeyer flasks
Using a Test Tube Clamp
Erlenmeyer Flask • gives only approximate measurements of volume. • It is usually used as a mixing vessel or a container for heating
Graduated Cylinder • used to measure the volume of liquids in m. L.
Scupula • used to transfer chemicals. Use these instead of your fingers!!
Stirring Rod • Used to mix chemicals
Thermometer • used to measure temperature
Metal Tongs • can be used to hold or pick up many items
Clay Triangle • a frame which can support a container
Rubber Coated Beaker Tongs • used to hold a hot beaker
Spot Plate • has a number of small "wells". Chemicals are placed into the small wells, and the reaction can be observed as it takes place in the "well".
