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.
