Hopefully you get the point. I cant include all of them but these are the basics. Continue identifying lab equipment in your time
Biohazard

Flammability
ability to burn or ignite; easily set on fire
Ingestion
way that a substance can enter the body by drinking or eating it
Inhalation

Radioactive
the giving off of rays of energy or particles after the atoms break apart
Skin Absorption

Toxic
poisonous
Eye wash
used to wash chemical out of the eye
Fume hood
used to ventilate hazardous or toxic fumes, vapors or dust
Gas shutoff
safety equipment used to immediately shut off gas lines in the lab
Safety Shower
used to wash away hazardous chemicals that come in contact with skin or clothing
Accuracy
an indication of how close a measruement is to its accepted value
Density
measures mass per unit volume; SI unit kg
Length
measures size; SI unit meter (m)
Mass
measures the amount of matter; SI unit kilogram (kg)
Meniscus
curve in the surface of liquids when it touches another material
Temprature
measures particle motion (average kinetic energy); SI unit Kelvin (K)
Precision
the closeness of measurements to each other
Time
measures duration of events; SI unit seconds (s)
Volume
amount of space an object takes up; SI unit m3
Weight
measure of gravitational force exerted by an object; SI unit Newtons
Beaker
A wide cylindrical container with a flat bottom used to mix and heat substances
Bunsen burner
vertical metal tube connected to gas source that produces a single flame
Electronic balance
measuring scale used to determine mass of an object or substance
Erlenmeyer flask
Conical shape container are for mixing and heating substances
Volumetric flask
Spherical shape container used to precisely make solutions
Funnel
a hallow cone used to pour substances into containers with small openings or to filter substances
Graduated cylinder
a narrow, cylindrical container marked with horizontal lines used to precisely measure the volume of liquids
Pipet
a small tube used to precisely transfer small amounts of liquid, often used to make dilutions of a substance
Test tube
a long thin cylindrical container with a U-shaped bottom used to hold or mix small amounts of material
Control Group
standard to which comparisons are made in an experiment
Experimental constant
potential variables that remain unchanged in an experiment
Independent variable
the variable that is manipulated or changed in an experiment
Dependent variable
the variable that is measured or observed in an experiment
Physical properties
are observed and measured without changing the identity of the substance.
Properties used to identify substances are color, odor, magnetism, mass, physical state
Chemical properties
can be observed or measured by changing the identity of the substance.
• Observable by breaking chemical bonds to change the substance into a new substance
Reactions with air, water, oxygen, acid or base are used to test reactivity.
Elements
Simplest type of matter
same type of atoms
Cannot be broken chemical or physical means
Compounds
2 or more elements combined chemical means
can be broken chemical not physical means
Mixture
2 or more substances not chemically combined
Can be separated by physical means
Diatomic elements
Some elements form a chemical bond between atoms of the same element
Molecul
Separation by chemical means
Heat to break chemical bonds
Electric current to break chemical bonds
Create a reaction to release elements
Separation by physical means
•Sorting or filtration
•Evaporation or distillation
•Magnetism
•Chromatography
•Crystallization
•Floatation
Homogeneous Mixture
Solutions and alloys |
Same composition |
Doesn’t separate on its own |
Light passes thru it because particles too small |
Heterogeneous Mixture
Suspensions and colloids |
Different parts visible |
Separates when denser particles settle to bottom |
Light is blocked or scatters because particles are too large |
Colloids
•Often appear homogeneous but particle size is too big
•Scatters light so classified as heterogeneous mixture or an “in-between” group
Solute
: substance mixed into the solution
Solvent
: substance that does the dissolving
Aqueous solutions
solutions where water is the solvent
Evaporation
A way to separate solid and liquid using heat
Decantation
Separating liquids by different densities, layer by layer
Filteration
Separates substances with particles of different sizes
Coagulation or flocculation
uses chemical properties of substances to remove dirt or unwanted material from water
Sedimentation
removal of unwanted material by letting it settle down into the water
Disinfection
add chemical like chlorine to kill remaining bacteria and viruses
Atom structure
dense positive core (middle) called the nucleus
empty space around the nucleus called electron cloud
Alkali metals
group 1, very reactive, soft, silver, shiny, low density;
Alkaline earth metals
group 2 of the periodic table which are harder and less reactive than the group 1
Anion
negatively charged ion
Atomic mass
average mass of all the forms (isotopes) of an element
Atomic #
the number of protons in an atom
Cation
positively charged ion
Charge
measure of electric charge (positive or negative) of an atom or molecule
Electron
negatively charged particle with no mass
electron cloud
area around the nucleus of the atom where electrons are most likely found
Electron shell
number of energy levels in an atom that matches the period or row of an element
Halogens
Group 7A or 17 that contains nonmetals, very reactive and poor conductors
Ion
atom or group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge
isotope
atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons
Metals
malleable and ductile elements, usually solid at room temperature and good conductors
Metalloids
elements that separate metals and nonmetals on the periodic table
Noble gases
elements in Group 8A or 18 of the periodic table; least reactive elements
Nonmetal
element that are dull (not shiny) and poor conductors of heat and energy
Transitional metals
metals located in groups 3-12, moderate range of reactivity
Valence electrons
electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom
