Test tube
A test tube, also known as a sample tube, is a common piece of
laboratory glassware consisting of a finger-like length of glass or
clear plastic tubing, open at the top and closed atthe bottom,
a
Beakers
Beakers are used as containers. They are available in a variety of
sizes. Although they often possess volume markings, these are only
rough estimates of the liquid volume. The markings are not
necessarily accurate.
Erlenmeyer flask
Erlenmeyer flasks are often used as reaction vessels, particularly in
titrations. As with beakers, the volume markings should not be
considered accurate,
Volumetric flask
Volumetric flasks are used to measure and store solutions with a
high degree of accuracy. These flasks generally possess a marking
near the top that indicates the level at which the volume of the liquid
{is equal to the volume writen on the outside of the flask. These
devices are often used when solutions containing dissolved solids of
‘known concentration are needed.
(
Pipette
Pipettes are used for transferring liquids with a fixed volume and
‘quantity of liquid must be known to a high degree of accuracy.Burette
Burettes are devices used typically in analytical, quantitative
chemistry applications for measuring liquid solution, Differing from
a pipette since the sample quantity delivered is changeable,
graduated Burettes are used heavily in titration experiments. In
Burette and Pipettes it is common to measure the volume delivered.
This means that two volume measurements will be made. The
volume delivered is the difference in these two volumes, Vou -

Funnel
‘A tube or pipe that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, used
for guiding liquid or powder into a small opening.
Glass rod
A glass stirring rod, glass rod, stirring rod or stir rod is a piece of
laboratory equipment used to mix chemicals and liquids for
laboratory purposes. They are usually made of solid glass, about the
thickness and slightly longer than a drinking straw, with rounded
ends.
Spatula
In laboratories, spatulas and microspatulas are small stainless steel
utensils, used for scraping, transferring, or applying powders and
paste like chemicals or treatments. Many spatula brands are also /
resistant to acids, bases, heat, and solvents, which make them ideal d
for use with a wide range of compound.
‘Watch glass
‘A watch glass is a circular concave piece of glass used in chemistry
Se
as a surface to evaporate a liquid, to hold solids while being
weighed, for heating a small amount of substance and as a cover for
a beaker. The latter use is generally applied to prevent dust or other
particles entering the beaker; the watch glass does not completely
seal the beaker, so gas exchanges still occur.Volumedr rc
