Chemistry Equipment

1) Erlenmeyer Flask- used for holding and transferring liquids. Not for accurate measuring. Must capitalize Erlenmeyer since it is named after a person.

2) Beaker- used for holding and transferring liquids. Not used for accurate measuring.

3) Spatula/Scoop-used to take out or transfer small quantities of solid chemicals. Ideal for transferring from small bottles.

4) Graduated Cylinder- Used for accurate measurement of liquid volume. Will have TD (total deliver) marking meaning you can deliver accurately.

5) Iron Ring- clasp made of iron, used to hold glass beakers or flasks when they are being heated. Use with a ring stand. May adjust height.

6) Thermometer-uses thermal expansion of the liquid in the bulb to determine the temperature of objects.

7) Clamp-used for holding equipment in the correct position on a ring stand.

8) Dropper/Pipet- used to suction transfer small amount of liquid.

9) Stirring Rod- piece of lab equipment udes to mix chemicals and liquids.

10) Wire Mesh- Sits on top of iron ring to support beakers, evaporating dishes, and other equipment while heating.

11) Test Tube Holder-used to hold or support test tubes containing chemicals while moving or heating them.

12) Funnel- Used with filter paper in separating solids and liquids or used to transfer liquids.

13) Tongs- Used for moving hot equipment, which is not heavy.

14) Test Tube Rack-Used to hold or support test tubes containing chemicals waiting for further operation.

15) Burner- Used to heat chemicals. Use a rubber hose to connect to gas outlet.

16) Test Tube- glassware consisting of a finger-like length of glass or plastic that is open at the top and rounded on the bottom. Used to heat, hold, or mix solid or liquid chemicals.

17) Florence Flask- Used for holding and transferring liquids. Not a measuring device. Capitalize since this flask is named after a person. 18) Evaporating Dish- Used for evaporating samples of liquid. Usually made of porcelain. Can be heated.

19) Ring Stand- Serves to support other equipment being used in an experiment. Always used with other equipment such as an iron ring or clamp.

20) Well Plate- Used to run small scale test with small amounts of chemicals. Usually using only drops of chemicals. Can cut down on waste.
