Lab Equipment and its Uses
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| determines the weight or mass of an object to a very high degree of precision | Balance |
| a multi- purpose piece of equipment used for holding and measuring liquids, containing a chemical reaction, heating them over a Bunsen burner's flame or collecting them in a titration experiment | Beaker |
| picks up very high temperature laboratory items including, hot evaporating dishes, beakers, crucibles, and other laboratory apparatuses | Beaker Tongs |
| a small tubular instrument for directing a jet of air or other gas into a flame in order to concentrate and increase the flame's heat | Blow Pipe |
| used in laboratory analysis for the separation of solid-liquid mixtures by means of vacuum filtration | Buchner Funnel |
| used to heat substances, to combust substances, and to sterilize objects on high heat | Bunsen Burner |
| used to dispense small volumes of liquid called aliquots, or sometimes gas, with high accuracy | Burette |
| piece of laboratory equipment used to support a porcelain crucible being heated by a Bunsen burner | Clay Triangle |
| used to condense vapors in the lab or turn them into liquids simply by cooling them down | Condenser |
| used to heat small quantities to very high temperatures | Crucible and Cover |
| used to hold crucibles and evaporating dishes when they are hot | Crucible Tongs |
| used for moving small amounts of liquid from place to place | Dropper Pipette |
| used to heat, mix, and store liquids; the bottom is wider than the top so it will heat quicker | Erlenmeyer Flask |
| used to recover dissolved solids by evaporation | Evaporating Dish |
| Used with vacuum line and Buchner funnel for vacuum filtration | Filter Flask |
| Used for heating substances that need to be heated evenly. The bulbed bottom allows the heat to distribute through the liquid more evenly. | Florence Flask |
| Used for picking up and moving small objects | Forceps |
| Used to pour liquids into any container so they will not be lost or spilled. They are also used with folded filter paper for filtration. | Funnel |
| commonly used in laboratory settings for a variety of applications, including storage and transport of specimens, examination of live insects, or for studying the behavior of gases | Gas Jar |
| Used to transfer a measurable amount of liquid in laboratory practices | Glass Pipette |
| Used to stir liquids. They are usually made of glass | Glass Stirring Rod |
| Used to measure the volumes of liquids | Graduated Cylinder |
| Attached to the ring stand and with wire gauze used to hold beakers or flasks while they are heated by a gas burner | Iron Ring |
| Used to view enlarged or magnified images of objects or read the small calibrations marked on many equipment | Magnifying Glass |
| Used in viewing specimens that are relatively very small in size, they are used to view the cellular structures of organs, germs, and bacteria | Microscope |
| Used to crush solids into powders for experiments, usually to better dissolve the solids | Mortar and Pestle |
| Used to hold glassware in place during an experimental procedure | Ring Stand |
| Used for protection against chemical splash hazards, use of concentrated corrosive material, and bulk chemical transfer | Safety Goggles |
| Used in labs for chromatography which is a technique for separation of a compound mixture | Sample Vial |
| For scooping out small or large amounts of chemicals from bottles, etc | Scoopula |
| Used for moving small amounts of solid from place to place | Spatula |
| Used for moving small amounts of solid from place to place | Test Tube |
| Used for cleaning test tubes and narrow mouth laboratory glassware, such as graduated cylinders, burettes, and Erlenmeyer flasks | Test Tube Brush |
| Used to hold test tubes while heating | Test Tube Holder |
| Used to hold test tubes while reactions happen in them or while they are not needed | Test Tube Rack |
| Used to take the temperature of solids, liquids, and gases | Thermometer |
| Used to measure one specific volume in mixing accurate solutions | Volumetric Flask |
| Used to wash or rinse other containers | Wash Bottle |
| Used to hold solids when being weighed or transported. They should never be heated. Can also be used to cover beakers or other containers | Watch Glass |
| Used with a ring clamp to support glassware over a Bunsen burner. Spread flame out for more even heating | Wire Gauze |
| Used for heating, sterilization, and combustion in a laboratory | Alcohol Lamp |
