19. Ignition Tube - primarily used to hold small
quantities of substances which are undergoing
direct heating by a Bunsen burner or other heat
source.
20. Porcelain Crucible - used to heat small
quantities to very high temperatures.
21. Crucible Tong – Used to hold the crucible
22. Distilling Flask - used for distillation
processes.
23. Condenser - used in distillation
24. Adapter - a device that connects the
condenser and the receiving flask in a distillation
process.
25. Test Tube - used by chemists to hold, mix, or
heat small quantities of solid or liquid chemicals,
especially for qualitative experiments and assays.
26.
tubes while reactions happen in them or while
they are not needed.
27. Iron Stand – used to hold the iron ring
and supports.
28. Iron Ring – used to hold or support
beakers during experiments while connected
to the iron stand.
29. Tripod – three-legged support equipment
used to place above the bunsen burner in the
science lab to heat/boil anything.
30. Burette Clamp - used to fasten
glassware into place on a ring stand
31. Clay Triangle - used to hold crucibles
when they are being heated.
32. Clamp Holder - used to secure an
extension-type utility clamp to a support
stand (or ring stand)
33. Mortar & Pestle - used to crush solids
into powders for experiments, usually to
better dissolve the solids.
34. Bunsen Burner - used for heating and
exposing items to flame.
35. Alcohol Lamp – Used to heat things.
36. Wing Top/Fish Tail - used to bend glass
as it spread out the heat over a larger area,
making it more uniform.
37. Wire Gauze - used to spread heat of a
burner flame
38. Cork Borer - tool for cutting a hole in a
cork or rubber stopper to insert glass tubing.
39. Thermometer - used to take temperature
of solids, liquids, and gases.
40. Desiccators - used for preserving
moisture-sensitive items.
41. Weighing Bottle - used when you're
making up a standard solution.
42. Triangular File - used for many cuts,
such as cutting angles less than 90 degrees.
43. Petri Dish - use to culture cells, which
can be bacteria, animal, plant, or fungus.
44. Spot Plate – Used for observing small
amounts of solids.
45. Test Tube brush - used to easily clean
the inside of a test tube.
46. Pinchcock - used to regulate or close a
flexible tube, especially in laboratory
apparatus.
47. Rubber Aspirator – used for moving air,
fluids, etc. by suction
48. Rubber Tubing - is used to connect two
openings.
49. Separatory Funnel - used in liquid-liquid
extractions to separate (partition) the
components of a mixture between two
immiscible solvent phases of different
densities.
50. Buchner Funnel - used in suction filtration.
51. Filtering Flask - holds the sample isolated
from the suction by a layer of filter paper.
52. Triple Beam Balance - used in the
laboratory to determine the mass (by weight
comparison) of samples.
53. Analytical Balance - measures masses to
within 0.0001 g.
54. Hot Plate – Used for heating beakers,
Erlenmeyer flasks, hot water baths, and other
flat-bottomed containers.
