Common Chemistry Lab Equipment

Chemistry Lab Drawer

Well PlateUsed for “small scale” reactions, where you are only using drops of

solutions.

Chemistry Lab DrawerMicro Spatula and

ScoopulaUsed for measuring

small amounts of chemicals.

Never stick these directly into a bottle of chemicals.

You can contaminate the entire bottle.


Lab Apron (Folded)Goggles (top right)


Wash bottle. Use this for “rinsing” chemicals into your

reaction vessel.


Test Tube Rack and Test TubesTest Tubes are another “primary”

reaction vessel

Chemistry Lab DrawerGraduated Cylinder

Use these to accurately measure liquids in lab. Never use beakers to measure.

The answer on the SOL is always GRADUATED CYLINDER.

Volumes.We will work with liters (L) and

milliliters (mL) in this class. 1000 mL = 1L; 1000 L = 1 m3

Cubic centimeters (cm3) and milliliters (mL) are different names for the same amount. 1 mL = 1 cm3.

1 drop from a dropper is approximately 0.05 mL. So, 20 drops = 1 mL.

cylinder)Combustion spoon (looks like a soup

ladle)

Chemistry Lab Table

Tongs

Chemistry Lab DrawerCrucible and

LidUsed for

STRONG Heating


Watch Glass

Chemistry Lab DrawerEvaporating

DishUsed for

GENTLE heating or NO

heating


Glass FunnelUsed with filter paper.


Wire Triangle with PorcelainUse this when heating

crucibles.


Beakers


Erlenmeyer FlaskUsed as a reaction “vessel” in

lab.Swirl


Ring Stand and ClampsRing Clamps and Utility Clamps


Wire Gauze with Ceramic CenterUse this for heating beakers or

flasks.


Bunsen Burner

Bunsen Burner Safety1. Never walk away from a lit burner.2. Never leave the gas turned on

while the burner is NOT lit.3. Never leave a test tube in the

flame while heating.4. Never point a test tube at

someone else while heating.


Pipets and Pipet bulbNEVER use your mouth to

pipet.

Chemistry Lab DrawerNot on Handout

Volumetric flasks

Volumetric FlasksUsed for making very accurate

concentrations of solutions.Beakers/Flasks—accurate to about

5% (50,000 ppm)Graduated cylinder—accurate to

about 1% (10,000 ppm)Volumetric Flasks—accurate about

0.04% (400 ppm)


Buret on ring standUsed for titrations.


Stirring Rods


Mortar and Pestle. Used for grinding up solids or mixing

solids.
