Lab Equipment Notes
IPC Unit 1
Beaker
• Used to hold and heat liquids. Multipurpose and essential in the lab.
Test Tube Brushes
• Used to easily clean the inside of a test tubes and other glassware.
Bunsen Burner
• Used for heating and exposing items to flame
Crucible with Lid
• Used to heat small quantities to very high temperatures.
Crucible Tong
• Used to hold crucibles and evaporating dishes when they are hot.
Disposable Pipette
• Used for moving small amounts of liquid from place to place. They are usually made of plastic and are disposable
Electronic Balance
• Used for weighing substances or objects, usually in grams.
Erlenmeyer Flask
• Used to heat, mix, and store liquids.
• The advantage to the Erlenmeyer Flask is that the bottom is wider than the top
• It will heat quicker because of the greater surface area exposed to the heat.
Evaporating Dish
• Used to recover dissolved solids by evaporation
Florence Flask
• Used for heating substances that need to be heated evenly.
• The bulbed bottom allows the heat to distribute through the liquid more evenly.
• Mostly used in distillation experiments.
Forceps
• Used for picking up and moving small objects.
Graduated Cylinder
• Used to measure the volumes of liquids
Hot Plate
• Used for heating substances and liquids in beakers and flasks.
Mortar & Pestle
• Used to crush solids into powders for experiments, usually to better dissolve the solids.
Ring Clamp
• Attached to ring stand and with wire gauze used to hold beakers or flasks while they are heated by a gas burner.
Ring Stand
• 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.
Scoopula
• For scooping out small or large amounts of chemicals from bottles, etc.
Spatula
• Used for moving small amounts of solid from place to place.
Striker
• Used to light a gas burner
Test Tube
• Used for storing, mixing, and heating small amounts of chemicals.
Test Tube Holder
• Used to hold test tubes while heating.
Test Tube Rack
• Used to hold test tubes while reactions happen in them or while they are not needed.
Thermometer
• Used to take temperature of solids, liquids, and gases.
• They are usually in oC, but can also be in oF.
Triple Beam Balance
• used to measure masses very precisely
Utility Clamp
• Used to attach test tubes and other glassware to ring stand
Wash Bottle
• Used to wash or rinse other containers
Weigh Boat
• Used for weighing solids on a balance.
Wire Gauze
• Used to support other glassware over, for ex. a Bunsen burner
