LIST OF APPARATUS FOR QUIZ:

1. Heat Plate

In laboratory settings, hot plates are generally used to heat glassware or its contents. Some hot plates
also contain a magnetic stirrer, allowing the heated liquid to be stirred automatically.

2. Graduated cylinder A graduated cylinder, also known as measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a
common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow
cylindrical shape. Each marked line on the graduated cylinder represents the amount of liquid that has
been measured.

3. Test tube rack A test tube rack is a piece of laboratory equipment used to hold multiple test tubes
upright at the same time.

4. burette used in quantitative chemical analysis to measure the volume of a liquid or a gas. It consists
of a graduated glass tube with a stopcock (turning plug, or spigot) at one end.

5. stirring rod A stirring rod is used for mixing liquids, or solids and liquids. Stir rods are used 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.
6. washing bottle A wash bottle is a squeeze bottle with a nozzle, used to rinse various pieces of
laboratory glassware, such as test tubes and round bottom flasks. Wash bottles are sealed with a
screw-top lid.

7. beaker used for various purposes—from preparing solutions and decanting supernatant fluids to
holding waste fluids prior to disposal to performing simple reactions.

8. Alcohol lamp

An alcohol burner or spirit lamp is a piece of laboratory equipment used to produce an open flame. It
can be made from brass, glass, stainless steel or aluminium.

9. Filtering jar a flask that is used for receiving a filtering liquid and that is usually of heavy-walled glass
and is often provided with a side tube to connect with a suction pump
10. Reagent Bottle Reagent bottles, also known as media bottles or graduated bottles, are containers
made of glass, plastic, borosilicate or related substances, and topped by special caps or stoppers. They
are intended to contain chemicals in liquid or powder form for laboratories and stored in cabinets or on
shelves.

11. Crucible tong Crucible tongs are scissor-like tools, but instead of having two blades, these tools are
replaced with two pincers or pieces of metals that concave together, which allow the users to grasp a
hot crucible, flasks, evaporating dishes, or even small beakers.

12. Syringe

Syringes are used in research labs for multiple tasks including injection of gases or liquids into
chromatographs, chemical apparatus, or animals. Syringes can range from precision micro syringes to
inexpensive disposable units.

13. Evaporating dish An evaporating dish is a piece of laboratory glassware used for the evaporation of
solutions and supernatant liquids, and sometimes to their melting point.
14. condenser In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a heat exchanger used to condense a
gaseous substance into a liquid state through cooling. In so doing, the latent heat is released by the
substance and transferred to the surrounding environment

15. funnel A funnel is a tube or pipe that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, used for guiding
liquid or powder into a small opening. Funnels are usually made of stainless steel, aluminium, glass, or
plastic.

16. Erlenmeyer flask An Erlenmeyer flask, also known as a conical flask or a titration flask, is a type of
laboratory flask which features a flat bottom, a conical body, and a cylindrical neck. It is named after the
German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer, who created it in 1860.

18. Desiccator re sealable enclosures containing desiccants used for preserving moisture-sensitive items
such as cobalt chloride paper for another use. A common use for desiccators is to protect chemicals
which are hygroscopic or which react with water from humidity.
19. centrifuge A centrifuge is a device that uses centrifugal force to separate various components of a
fluid. This is achieved by spinning the fluid at high speed within a container, thereby separating fluids of
different densities or liquids from solids.

20. clamp A utility clamp is a laboratory apparatus resembling a pair of scissors. The screw in the
middle works as the wide adjustment of 2-prong. ... It is used to hold round laboratory glassware, such
as a beaker, and flasks, etc.

21. test tube also known as a culture tube or sample tube, is a common piece of laboratory glassware
consisting of a finger-like length of glass or clear plastic tubing, open at the top and closed at the
bottom. Test tubes are usually placed in special-purpose racks.

22. pipette A pipette is a laboratory tool commonly used in chemistry, biology and medicine to
transport a measured volume of liquid, often as a media dispenser.

23. thermometer A thermometer has two important elements: a temperature sensor in which some
change occurs with a change in temperature; and some means of converting this change into a
numerical value.
24. Cylinder gas measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used
to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape. Each marked line on the graduated
cylinder represents the amount of liquid that has been measured.

25. spatula used for scraping, transferring, or applying powders and paste-like 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 compounds.

26. iron clmap a piece of laboratory equipment used to hold things and is placed in an iron stand to
elevate other equipment.
27. iron ring comprises a conjoined metal ring and radially-extending rod. In some cases, the rod
terminates in a screw clamp for attachment to a retort stand or other support

28. iron stand iron stand supports the iron ring when heating substances or mixtures in a flask or
beaker (using a Bunsen burner) clamps can also be used to hold glasswares on the iron ring.

29. mortar and pestle A mortar and pestle are two tools used with each other to mill (grind) and mix
substances. The Mortar is bowl-shaped, and used to hold the substance to be ground. ... The Pestle is a
stick used for pounding and grinding

30. test tube holder

Test tube racks are made to hold multiple test tubes upright at one time for easy organization,
transport, or washing, or for placement in an autoclave or refrigerator. A test tube holder, on the other
hand, is a tool used to hold one test tube.
