Apparatus
| Scientific Apparatus | Functions |
|---|---|
| Test Tube | Holds a small amount of material to be used in an experimental. |
| Test Tube Holder | Holding test tubes when heating liquids. |
| Conical Flask | A container for solutions during practical work. |
| Test Tube Stand | Holds and keeps test tubes in an upright position. |
| Round bottom flask | For heating solutions. Cannot be put on a flat surface. |
| Burette | Used to accurately dispense small volumes of liquid into another substance, usually positioned in a flask below the burette. |
| Flat bottom flask | Various uses such as dispensing liquids, heating them etc. |
| Syringe | Used to dispense a liquid. Not as accurate as a burette. |
| Funnel | Used to filter and hence separate substances from one another. |
| Teat pipette (dropper) | To dispense liquids drop-by-drop. |
| Measuring cylinder | Measures volumes of liquids. Not as accurate as a pipette, but can measure larger volumes. |
| Pipette (graduated or with a bulb) | Measuring and transferring very accurate quantities of liquids. |
| Watch glass | Holds a small specimens or allows small amounts of liquids to evaporate and leave behind solids. |
| Glass rod | For stirring hot substances. |
| Evaporating dish | Substances are held and heated so that liquids can evaporate from the solution. (Not glass) |
| Retort stand | To hold apparatus or objects of various sizes in position during an experiment. |
| Crucible and lid | For heating substances. Lid prevents splattering. (Not glass) |
| Bunsen burner | Produces a hot flame by mixing air with gas. Substances are heated above the burner or in the flame. |
| Spatula | For scooping and transferring small amounts of chemicals. |
| U-tube | Varied uses e.g. for cooling substances or passing gases from one flask to the next. |
| Gauze | Placed on top of a tripod stand on which to balance other apparatus such as a beaker etc over a Bunsen burner |
| Glass jar | Used to capture and store gases for experiments. |
| Pipeclay triangle | Placed on top of a tripod stand on which to accurately balance apparatus such as a crucible above a Bunsen Burner. Also allows direct flame on to the apparatus. |
| Thermometer | To measure temperatures of substances in °C. |
| Tongs | To handle hot objects and apparatus. |
| Wash bottle |
