Apparatus

A burette (also buret) is laboratory apparatus


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

The buret is used in


titrations to measure
precisely how much
liquid is used.

burette clamp / burette holder


A crucible is a cup-shaped piece of
laboratory equipment used to contain
chemical compounds when heating them to
very high temperatures
A separatory funnel is a laboratory glassware used
in liquid-liquid extractions to separate (partition) the
components of a mixture between two immiscible
solvent phases of different densities.
The Florence Flask is used for heating
substances that need to be heated evenly.
The bulbed bottom allows the heat to
distribute through the liquid more evenly.
The Florence Flask is mostly used in
distillation experiments
A volumetric flask is a type of laboratory
flask used to contain or measure a very
precise and accurate amount of a liquid
The Erlenmeyer flask is used to heat or boil
substances over a Bunsen burner flame or
hot plate
Dropper

used for moving small amounts


of liquid from place to place.
They are usually made of
plastic and are disposable

is used for moving small amounts of


solid from place to place.
A mortar and pestle is a tool
used to grind and mix
substances. The pestle is a
heavy stick whose end is used
for pounding and grinding, and
the mortar is a bowl. The
substance is ground between the
pestle and the mortar.

Test tube

A clear, cylindrical glass tube usually open at one


end and rounded at the other, used in laboratory
experimentation.
Test tube holder

used to hold test tubes while reactions


happen in them or while they are not
needed.
Iron ring

used to hold items being heated. Clamps or rings can


be used so that items may be placed above the lab
table for heating by bunsen burners or other items.
A watch glass is a circular, slightly concave piece
of glass used in chemistry as a surface to
evaporate a liquid, or as a cover for a beaker

The watch glass is used to hold solids when


being weighed or transported. They should never
be heated
