I. y y y y y y y y II. y y Container test tube - used as holder of small amount of solution. - are for holding small samples or for containing small-scale reactions. Wash bottles - are used for dispensing small quantities of distilled water. Pipets - are used to dispense small quantities of liquids. Erlenmeyer flasks - are useful to contain reactions or to hold liquid samples. They are also useful to catch filtrates. 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. Reagent bottle Florence flask Mortar and pestle use for grinding or pounding Measurement burette - measures volume of solution. graduated cylinder - measures approximate volume of liquids cylinders are for measurement of an amount of liquid. The volume of liquid can be estimated to the nearest 0.1 mL with practice. graduated pipette - measures solution volumes thermometer - measures temperature balance - measures mass of material pH meter - measures acidity of solutions Volumetric flasks - are used to measure precise volumes of liquid or to make precise dilutions. volumetric flasks - to measure precise volumes of liquid or to make precise dilutions. Burettes - 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. -

Watch glasses - are for holding small samples or for covering beakers or evaporating dishes. Tongs - are similar in function to forceps but are useful for larger items. Test tube holders - are for holding test tubes when tubes should not be touched tongs - similar function to forceps, but are useful for larger items Ring stand with rings or clamps - are for holding pieces of glassware in place. forceps - holds or pick up small objects Clay triangles - are placed on a ring attached to a ring stand as a support for a funnel, crucible, or evaporating dish. Test tube rack wire gauze on a ring - supports beakers to be heated by Bunsen burners wire gauze - used to spread heat of a burner flame spatula stirring rod
