B. Write the functions of the different laboratory equipment

One of the most often used pieces of laboratory

equipment is the test tube. Test tubes are the ideal form
and size for holding little quantities of substances, often
Test Tube
liquids, which are subsequently manipulated in some
way, such as by placing them over the flame of a Bunsen
burner.
Beakers can be used to store liquid or solid samples or
Beaker as reaction containers. They are also used to collect
titrated liquids and filtrates from filtering procedures.
Erlenmeyer flasks are used to hold liquids as well as for
mixing, heating, cooling, incubation, filtration, storage,
and other liquid-handling procedures. Because of its
Erlenmeyer Flask
sloping sides and thin necks, the contents may be
blended by swirling without spilling, which is ideal for
titrations and boiling liquids.
A graduated cylinder, also known as a cylinder
measuring cylinder or a mixing cylinder, is a piece of
Graduated Cylinder laboratory equipment used to measure the number of
liquids, chemicals, or solutions. Laboratory flasks and
beakers are less precise than graduated cylinders.
 A volumetric flask is employed when it is vital to know
the volume of the solution being made exactly and
Volumetric Flask properly. Volumetric flasks, like volumetric pipets, exist
in a variety of sizes based on the volume of the solution
being produced.
A funnel is a tube or pipe with a broad aperture at the
top and a narrow opening at the bottom that is used to
Funnel guide liquid or powder into a tiny hole. Stainless steel,
aluminum, glass, or plastic are the most common
materials used to make funnels.
Evaporating dishes (or crystallizing dishes) are shallow
bowls with a flat bottom and pour spout that can be used
Evaporating Dish
as reaction containers or for crystallization to separate a
solute from a solution.
A watch glass is a spherical, concave glass dish used in
Watch Glass chemistry for evaporation. It may also be used to weigh
substances and as a flask or beaker cover.
Laboratory spatulas are tools that aid in the mixing,
Spatula scraping, and other duties associated with moving
materials and samples from one location to another.
To stir or combine liquids, a glass stirring rod is utilized.
In several experiments, they are used to scratch the side
Stirring rod
of glassware (such as an Erlenmeyer flask) to initiate the
crystallization process.
Crucible tongs are scissor-like tools, but instead of two
blades, these tools include two pincers or concave metal
Crucible Tong
bits that allow users to grab hot crucibles, flasks,
evaporating dishes, or even tiny beakers.
A test tube holder, on the other hand, is a utensil that is
used to handle a single test tube. By pressing the
Test tube holder
handle, the spring-loaded jaws of the holder open to
grab the test tube.
A test tube rack is a piece of laboratory equipment that
holds numerous test tubes upright at once. They are
Test tube rack particularly handy for arranging test tubes when many
solutions are being worked on or collected at the same
time.
Test tube brushes are used for cleaning test tubes and
other lab equipment, such as tubing. The brush is made
Test tube brush of high-quality bristles fixed on twisted galvanized wire
and has a tufted end for cleaning the bottom of a test
tube.
A laboratory iron tripod is a piece of portable, three-
legged platform equipment that is often built of
Tripod
lightweight metal such as stainless steel or iron to allow
for easy movement inside the lab. The primary

Mortar and pestle
Burner/Alcohol Lamp
Wire gauze
application is to support or hold flasks and beakers
during experiments.
A mortar is a receptacle used to grind or crush material
using a pestle. A pestle is a tool used in a mortar to
crush, mash, or grind things. A mortar and pestle are
frequently used in solid-state chemistry to prepare
reactants for solid-state synthesis (the ceramic method).
An open flame is produced by using a lab alcohol burner.
When natural gas is accessible in the laboratory, it is the
principal source of heat. It produces enough heat to
carry out conventional chemical and microbiology
investigations. It is also used to sterilize laboratory
equipment using a flame.
Glassware cannot be burned directly with the flame of a
Bunsen burner, thus a wire gauze is used to spread the
heat, protecting the glassware. To stay on the wire
gauze, glassware must have a flat bottom.

Conclusion:
Experimenting with science is enjoyable! At the same time, it can be
dangerous. There are several methods to be alert and careful when experimenting with
science. Of course, knowing the science equipment one is employing as well as the
functions of this laboratory equipment is the most significant.
Unawareness of laboratory equipment and its applications has been lethal and will
continue to be damaging. Instead of taking dull notes, kids might witness and carry out
intriguing activities. Hands-on learning makes it easier to comprehend difficult ideas and
concepts. Every laboratory equipment has its function or importance. Especially, in every
activity, it can be used in their respective uses.
