Weigh Paper

Provides barrier between solids + electronic balance surface. Has 1 or 2 smooth sides.

Weigh Boat

Measures the mass of larger amount of solid

Test Tube

Holds small quantity of solution/performs small scale chemical reaction

Test Tube Tongs

Grips test tubes when being heated

Spot Plate

Multiple, small scale chemical reactions

Magnetic stir plate + Bar

Automatically stirs solutions during a titration

Filter Paper
