CHEM2 - Lab Equipment

Wash Bottle

Used to rinse various pieces of laboratory glassware such as test tubes and beakers. Usually filled with solvents or distilled water.

Dropper

Dispenses small amount of liquids, usually drop by drop. Useful for adding reagents or indicators precisely.

Test Tube Rack

Holds multiple test tubes upright for safe storage and organization. Convenient for conducting multiple experiments simultaneously.

Stopper

Seals the opening of flasks, test tubes, and other containers. Prevents spills and contamination.

Clay Triangle

Supports crucibles and other objects during heating. Allows for even heat distribution

Pipette

Measures and transfers precise volumes of liquids. Available in various types such as volumetric and graduated

Evaporating Dish

Used to evaporate liquids from solutions, leaving behind a solid residue.

Porcelain Crucible

Heats small amounts of solid substances to high temperatures. Used for processes like melting, calcination, and ignition.

Test Tube

Holds small amounts of liquids or solids for various experiments and reactions. Can be heated, cooled, or mixed.

Beaker

Simple container for mixing, stirring, and heating liquids. Available in various sizes.

Graduated Cylinder

Measures the volume of liquids. More Accurate than beakers.

Distilling Flask

Separates liquids based on their boiling points through distillation

Glass Rod

Stirs and mixes liquids and chemicals. Can also be used to transfer liquids or induce crystallization.

Iron Ring

Supports laboratory apparatus, such as flasks and funnels, on a ring stand.

Universal Clamp

Attaches to a ring stand and holds various laboratory apparatus, such as test tubes and flasks, at different angles.

Separatory Funnel

Separates immiscible liquids based on their densities

Alcohol Lamp

Provides a heat source for various laboratory processes such as heating, sterilization, and combustion

Bunsen Burner

Provides a heat source that can be concentrated and adjustable for various laboratory processes such as heating, sterilization, and combustion.

Mortar and Pestle

Grinds and crushes solid substances into powders or small pieces

Rubber Tubing

Connects laboratory apparatus such as flasks and condensers. Flexible and resistant to many chemicals.

Rubber Bulb Aspirator

Creates a vacuum to draw liquids into pipettes or other apparatus

Burette

dispenses precise volumes of liquids, typically used in titrations.

Reagent Bottle

Stores chemicals and solutions

Test Tube Holder

Holds test tubes during heating or when they are too hot to handle

Crucible Tong

Holds and manipulates hot crucibles and other objects.

Tripod

Supports objects such as beakers and flasks, during heating

Wire Gauze

Provides a flat surface for heating objects on a tripod. Distributes heat evenly.

Watch Glass

Holds small amounts of solids or liquids. Can also be used as a cover for beakers

Volumetric Flask

Prepares solutions with precise volumes

Erlenmeyer Flask

Used for mixing, heating, and storing liquids. Its conical shape prevents spills.

Florence Flask

Holds liquids, often used for boiling. Round bottom allows for even heating

Laboratory Thermometer

Measure the temperature of liquids and solids.

Buchner Funnel

Used for vacuum filtration to separate solids from liquids.

Water Bath

Provides a controlled temperature environment for heating or incubating samples

pH Meter

Measures the acidity or alkalinity (pH) of a solution.

Hot Plate with Stirrer

Heats and stirs liquids simultaneously. The stirrer looks like a capsule

Spot Plate

Has multiple small wells for performing small-scale reactions or tests.

Spatula

transfers solids, particularly powders and crystals

Distillation Condenser

Cools down generated vapours and convert them back into the liquid form in a distillation setup.

Electronic Weighing Scale

Measures the weight or mass of an object

Calorimeter

Measures the heat transfer associated with chemical reactions or physical changes.

Analytical Balance

Measures the mass of very small samples with high accuracy and precision.

Thistle Tube

A long, slender tube with a bulb-shaped reservoir at the top, used for adding liquids to a reaction vessel or apparatus. The thistle tube allows for controlled addition of liquids, preventing spills or rapid reactions. It is often used in chemistry experiments involving gas generation or titration.

Triple-Beam Balance

A mechanical balance used to measure the mass of objects. It consists of a beam with three sliding weights (riders) that can be adjusted along calibrated scales.

Capillary Tube

Narrow bores used for tasks such as measuring melting points, observing capillary action, or performing micro-scale experiments.
