lab equipment

Beaker

Glass used to hold and heat solutions. Not used for measuring.

Büchner funnel

used for suction filtration along with a filtering flask

Bunsen Burner

Produces a flame for heating

Burette or Buret

Used for volumetric delivery of solutions. Used in titration experiment. Stopcock is the small handle that controls the delivery of the liquid

Clamp and Ring Stand

holds funnels, flasks, wire gauze for burning

Crucible

Heat resistant container used to heat compounds. Can be used in combination with ring stand and clamp

Distillation Apparatus

used to separate a mixture of compounds based on boiling point

Erlenmeyer Flask

Conical piece of lab equipment that is used for holding liquids. Not used for measuring

Evaporating Dish

Used to hold aqueous solutions as they are heated in order to evaporate the water and leave the solid

Filtering Flask

used in combination with vacuum suction and Büchner funnel

Funnel

Along with filter paper can be used to separate solids from liquids.

Graduated cylinder

Used for measuring volumes of liquids. More accurate than a beaker and less accurate than volumetric equipment such as pipets and burets.

Hot Plate

Electric device that allows for controlled delivery of heat. Often contains a metallic stirrer to allow for mixing.

Mortar and Pestle

porcelain piece of equipment that can be used for crushing and grinding

Separatory funnel

allows for separation of immiscible liquids

Thermometer

used to measure temperature

Volumetric flask

used to accurately prepare solutions of various concentrations.

often used in titrations

volumetric pipet

used for accurate measurement and transfer of liquid volumes.

often used during titrations and when diluting solutions

well plate

provides small reaction wells that allow reactions to be carried out on a microscale
