Test tube Beaker Evaporating dish

➢ Use to mix, heat and/or hold
small quantities of chemicals
for assays and laboratory
experiments.
➢ They are used as distillation
receiving containers, to hold
solid or liquid samples and
different layers in an
extraction, as reaction flasks,
to heat for crystallizations.
➢ They are used for the
evaporation of liquids
and solutions to produce
a solid substance or
concentrated solutions.

Alcohol lamp Bunsen burner Beam balance

➢ Used for heating,
sterilization, and combustion
in a laboratory. The alcohol
lamp uses ethyl alcohol or
spirit as a fuel. It is generally
made up of glass.
➢ Can be used to provide a
single, continuous flame by
mixing gas with air in a
controlled fashion.
➢ Beam balance is used for
calibrating masses in the
range between 10 mg and
1 Kg. The measurement

is to break up an emulsion
during an extraction.

Acid burette Base burette Medicine drop

➢ Is to accurately measure and
dispense liquid. Used when
an acid has to be measured
and dispensed into another
solution.
➢ used in the titration process
for quantitative analysis in
many industrial chemical
tests where solutions of
known concentration.
➢ dispense small amounts of
medicine. Droppers have
markings to help measure
liquid, allowing the user to
give an accurate dosage.

Wire gauze Iron stand Iron ring

➢ supporting equipment in a
laboratory as glassware
cannot be heated directly to
the flame of a Bunsen burner
and requires to diffuse the
heat and helping to protect
the glassware.
➢ are used to hold glassware in
place during an experimental
procedure. Support the iron
ring when heating substance
in a flask or beaker.
➢ iron ring is used to support
flasks or funnels upright in
a stand.This is to enable the
stability of the flask while
testing is being performed.

Crucible tong Meter stick Watch glass

➢ They can be used to hold or
pick up many items, but
work best as tongs for
picking up a hot evaporating
dish.
➢ Measures one meter and
shows only metric units of
measurement of millimeters
and centimeters. Meter sticks
are used to measure objects
that are larger than an paper.
➢ is used as a surface to
evaporate a liquid in
chemistry. It holds solid
while being weighed, or
acts as a cover for a beaker.

Watch bath Thermometer Clay triangle

➢ is used to incubate samples at
a constant temperature on a
long period of time.
➢ is used to measure the
boiling point and freezing
point during science
experiments. It is also used
to measure the temperature
of substances.
➢ Used to hold crucibles and
porcelain dishes heated by
a Bunsen burner.
Distributes heat evenly
over the surface of objects.

Cork Reagent Bottle Funnel

➢ To prevent a gas or liquid
from escaping its container
and prevent the
contamination of samples by
protecting the contents of
laboratory glassware.
➢ It is used to put in chemical
substances, solutions, or
solvents. It is designed as
break resistant and is usually
made up of heavy
➢ Funnel is used to channel
liquid or fine-grained
substances into containers
with a small opening.

Water trough Test tube holder Test tube rack

➢ Water trough is a large basin ➢ Used to hold test tubes. Test ➢ For holding test tubes
used for containing tube holders are typically upright when they contain
chemicals or water when used when heating the test chemical and also be used
collecting gases. tube is necessary, or for to line up several test tubes
when caustic materials. to be used as collection.

higher temperatures.

Answer the following questions:

1. What apparatus can be used to measure volumes of liquid?

√ Graduated cylinders, beakers, volumetric pipets, burets and volumetric flasks are five kinds of glassware often
used to measure out specific volumes.

2. Which apparatus is best to use in measuring volume of liquid, beaker, graduated cylinder or pipette? Why?
√ Volumetric pipets are the most accurate; the glassware makers calibrate these to a high level of accuracy. The
accuracy is usually measured in terms of the tolerance, which is the uncertainty in a measurement made with the
glassware. Class A volumetric glassware has a lower tolerance than Class B; for class A, the tolerance can be as
low as 0.08 ml for a 100 ml flask or pipet. Generally, measurements with class A volumetric glassware can be
considered reliable to two places after the decimal point.

3. Is washing of apparatus before and after use a good practice in laboratory activity? Why?
√ Yes it is. Cleaning laboratory glassware before and after used is important because contaminated or dirty
glassware can lead to inaccurate results in the lab. A good way to confirm that your glassware is clean is to make
sure that distilled water uniformly wets the surface, this tells you that the surface is free of grease and other
contaminants that could alter the volume being measured or introduce impurities into the liquid.
