 Pipet
Bulb

It helps regulate the flow of

liquid from the dropping
bottle by acting as a vacuum
source for filling reagents
using a pipette or pasteur
pipette.
 Funnels are familiar items in
the laboratory used for
filtering, filling, decanting or
transferring liquids or powders
from one vessel to another.
 Desiccators are
important for drying
reactants prior to
their use in chemical
reactions.

Crucible is used in
the laboratory to
contain chemical
compounds when
heated to extremely
high temperatures.
A clay triangle, also called
a pipestem triangle

It is placed on an iron ring

to support a crucible safely
above a flame from a
burner. The iron ring is
adjustable so it can be set to
the proper height above the
burner.
 A Bunsen burner is a type
of gas burner that is used in
many chemistry procedures
in a laboratory setting. It is
used to heat substances, to
combust substances, and to
sterilize objects on high heat
