2. Erlenmeyer flasks-Used to heat, mix, and store liquids. The advantage to the Erlenmeyer Flask is that
the bottom is wider than the top so it will heat quicker because of the greater surface area exposed to the
heat.
3. Graduated cylinder-a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid.
4. Distilling flask-to separate mixtures of two liquids with different boiling points.
5. Funnel-Used to pour liquids into any container so they will not be lost or spilled. They are also used
6. Test tube-Used for storing, mixing, and heating small amounts of chemicals.
8. Pipette- Used for moving small amounts of liquid from place to place. They are usually made of plastic
9. Florence flask- It is designed for uniform heating, boiling, distillation and ease of swirling.
10. Volumetric flask-Used to measure one specific volume in mixing accurate solutions.
11. Condenser-used to condense vapours in the lab or turn them into liquids simply by cooling them down.
14. Dropper- Used to transfer small amounts of liquid chemicals drop by drop.
15. Watch Glass- Used as a surface to hold small amounts of solids during weighing or to cover beakers to
prevent splattering.
16. Evaporating Dish- Used to evaporate liquids from a solution, leaving behind solid residues.
18. Mortar and Pestle- Used to crush, grind, or mix solid substances.
19. Crucible with Cover- Used to heat small amounts of solid substances at high temperatures.
20. Clay Triangle- Used to support crucibles or other containers during heating over a Bunsen burner.
21. Test Tube Brush- Used to clean the inside of test tubes.
22. Test Tube Holder- Used to hold and handle test tubes, especially when they are hot.
23. Crucible Tongs- Used to handle hot crucibles, evaporating dishes, and other hot containers.
24. Wire Gauze- Placed on an iron ring to provide a platform for heating containers.
25. Test Tube Rack- Used to hold and organize test tubes during experiments and drying.
26. Iron Stand- A support stand used to hold various lab equipment such as clamps, bosses, and rings.
27. Iron Ring Attached to an iron stand and used to hold items like funnels or glassware during heating.
28. Universal Clamp- Used to hold various lab apparatus securely, often attached to an iron stand.
40. Pneumatic Trough- Collects and manipulates gases with water seal.
