Lab Equipment Overview

  • Filter Paper: Used to separate solid particles from liquids or gases.
  • Funnel: Helps transport liquids and powders into containers with narrow openings; often used with filter paper for filtering.
  • Evaporating Dish: Contains liquids for evaporation or for heating wet solids.
  • Separating Funnel: Used to separate mixtures into phases based on differing densities.
  • Watch Glass: Used to evaporate liquids and hold solids for weighing; may also cover beakers.
  • Dropper: Transfers small quantities of liquids.
  • Pipette: Transfers small amounts of liquid accurately.
  • Mortar and Pestle: Crushes or grinds solid chemicals into fine powders.
  • Glass Rods: Mixes chemicals.
  • Crucible: Contains chemical compounds at high temperatures.
  • Burette: Measures volumes of liquids and gases precisely.
  • Thistle Funnel: Assists in transferring liquids into containers.
  • Condenser: Cools and condenses vapors.
  • Deflagrating Spoon: Burns substances like phosphorus or sulfur.
  • Rubber Stopper: Seals containers to prevent gas escape.
  • Fractionating Column: Separates vaporized mixtures of liquid compounds.
  • Wash Bottle: Rinses glassware and other equipment.
  • Retort Stand: Supports other lab equipment.
  • Volumetric Flask: Allows for precise dilutions of standard solutions.
  • Spatula: Mixes, lifts, and levels powders/solids.
  • Balance Scale: Weighs test materials and samples.
  • Thermometer: Measures boiling and freezing points during experiments.
  • Erlenmeyer Flask: Used for mixing, storing, and heating samples/solutions.
  • Measuring Cylinder: Measures liquid volumes accurately.
