Exercise 2

FAMILIARIZATION OF LABORATORY APPARATUS

In chemistry, different laboratory glassware and instruments are used. It is in this context that students are
expected to be acquainted them before using these apparatus.

Objectives: At the end of this activity, you should be able to:

1. draw the different apparatus and instruments.

2. state the function/s or use/s of the given apparatus and instruments.

Procedure:

Given the following apparatus (presented by the teacher):

1. Draw the laboratory apparatus and instruments in your answer sheet

2. State their function/s or use/s as shown in the table.

Exercise 2
FAMILIARIZATION OF LABORATORY APPARATUS

Drawing Name Use/Purpose

To hold, mix and perform chemical
reactions within them. Test tubes
1. Test tube
come in different sizes but they are
generally used to conduct small scale
experiements, reations, and tests
(hence the name test tube).
This is used to hold upright multiple
test tubes at the same time. They are
2. Test tube rack
most commonly used when various
different solutions are needed to
work with simultaneously, for safety
reasons, for safe storage of test
tubes, and to ease the transport of
multiple tubes.
This is used for cleaning test tubes
and narrow mouth laboratory
3. Test tube brush
glassware, such as graduated
cylinders, burettes, and Erlenmeyer
flasks.

This is used to hold test tubes. It is

used for holding a test tube in place
4. Test tube holder
when the tube is hot or should not be
touched. For example, a test tube
holder can be used to hold a test tube
while it is being heated.
This is for measurement of an
amount of
Graduated cylinder
liquid. The volume of liquid can be
estimated to the nearest
0.1 mL with practice.
5.

It is useful as a reaction container or

to hold liquid or solid samples. They
beaker
are also used to catch liquids from
titrations and filtrates from filtering
operations.
6.
It is used as a platform to hold and
support glassware, such as beakers
tripod
and flasks, during experiments and
when the glassware is not in use. A
tripod’s height is easily adjustable to
fit varying individual requirements.
7.
It is placed on the support ring that is
attached to the retort stand between
Wire gauze
the Bunsen burner and the glassware
to support the beakers, flasks, or
8. other glassware during heating.

9.
Alcohol lamp/ Bunsen
burner
It is used for heating, sterilization,
and combustion in a laboratory. The
alcohol lamp uses ethyl alcohol or
spirit as a fuel.

It is a laboratory apparatus which is

10. used for weighing objects. The
Platform balance
balance has two platforms either
mounted on or suspended from a
cross-arm, and weights are placed on
one platform until they balance the
object being weighed.
11. It is used for mixing liquids, or
solids and liquids. Stir rods are used
Stirring rod
as part of proper laboratory
technique when decanting
supernatants because the contact
helps to negate the adhesion between
the side of the glassware and the
supernatant that is responsible for
the liquid running down the side.
 It is used to measure the boiling
point and freezing point during
thermometer
science experiments. It is also used
to measure the temperature of
substances. It measures temperature
ranging between -10 degree Celsius
12.
and 110 degree Celsius.
It is used to evaporate excess
solvents – most commonly water –
Evaporating dish
to produce a concentrated solution or
a solid precipitate of the dissolved
13. substance. Most are made of
porcelain or borosilicate glass.
It is used in the laboratory to contain
chemical compounds when heated to
Crucible with cover
extremely high temperatures.
Crucibles are available in several
sizes and typically come with a
14. correspondingly sized lid.
15. These tools are replaced with two
pincers or pieces of metals that
Crucible tong
concave together, which allow the
users to grasp a hot crucible, flasks,
evaporating dishes, or even small
beakers.
16. It is used to prepare ingredients or
substances by crushing and grinding
Mortar and pestle
them into a fine paste or powder in
the kitchen, laboratory, and
pharmacy.

17. It is used in chemistry as a surface to

evaporate a liquid, to hold solids
Watch glass
while being weighed, for heating a
small amount of substance and as a
cover for a beaker.
18. It is used to incubate samples in
water at a constant temperature over
Water bath
a long period of time. Most water
baths have a digital or an analogue
interface to allow users to set a
desired temperature, but some water
 baths have their temperature
controlled by a current passing
through a reader.

It is a device used to transfer small

quantities of liquids. They are used
dropper
in the laboratory and also to dispense
small amounts of liquid medicines.
A very common use was to dispense
eye drops into the eye.
19.
It is used to channel liquids or fine-
grained chemicals (powders) into
funnel
labware with a narrow neck or
opening. Often, they are made of
plastic such as polypropylene.
20. Reusable products can be sterilized
in an autoclave.
It used for scraping, transferring, or
applying powders and paste like
spatula
chemicals or treatments. Many
spatula brands are also resistant to
acids, bases, heat, and solvents,
which make them ideal for use with
a wide range of compound.

21.
It has diverse uses such as holding
and measuring chemical liquid
Erlenmeyer flask
samples, but can also be used to mix,
heat and boil chemicals.
