Common Lab equipments

Beakers

are useful as a reaction container or to hold liquid or solid samples. They are also used to catch liquids from titrations and filtrates from filtering operations.

Bunsen Burners

are sources of heat

Burets

are for addition of a precise volume of liquid. The volume of liquid added can be determined to the nearest 0.01 mL with practice.

Clay Triangles

are placed on a ring attached to a ring stand as a support for a funnel, crucible, or evaporating dish.

Droppers

are for addition of liquids drop by drop

Erlenmeyer Flasks

are useful to contain reactions or to hold liquid samples. They are also useful to catch filtrates.

Glass Funnels

are for funneling liquids from one container to another or for filtering when equipped with filter paper.

Graduated Cylinders

are for measurement of an amount of liquid. The volume of liquid can be estimated to the nearest 0.1 mL with practice.

Hot Plates

can also be used as sources of heat when an open flame is not desirable.

Pipets

are used to dispense small quantities of liquids.

Ring stand with Rings

are for holding pieces of glassware in place.

Test Tubes

are for holding small samples or for containing

Test tube holders

are for holding test tubes when tubes should not be touched

Tongs

are similar in function to forceps but are useful for larger items

Volumetric Flasks

are used to measure precise volumes of liquid or to make precise dilutions.

Wash bottles

are used for dispensing small quantities of distilled water.

Watch glasses

are for holding small samples or for covering beakers or evaporating dishes.

Wire Gauze

on a ring supports beakers to be heated by Bunsen burners

Balances

are used to determine the mass of a reagent or object.

Spectrophotometers

are used to measure the absorbance or transmittance of a liquid sample.

Fume Hoods

are used to ventilate noxious or harmful gases.
