Chemistry Tools Flashcards

Chemistry Tools and Their Functions

• Iron Ring: Stabilizes flasks on ring stands; holds crucibles securely during experiments.
• Scoopula: Spatula-like tool for transferring solid materials in laboratory settings.
• Pinch Clamp: Clamps rubber or plastic tubing, halting liquid flow.
• Pneumatic Trough: Collects gases and channels them to another container.
• Evaporating Dish: Evaporates excess solvents, producing concentrated solutions or solid precipitates.
• Funnel: Guides liquids or powders into small openings from larger containers.
• Wide Mouth Bottle: Stores and ships chemicals; large opening facilitates ease of use.
• Erlenmeyer Flask: Used for pouring and mixing solutions; can be sealed with a stopper.
• Test Tube Holder: Holds hot test tubes to prevent burns or contamination.
• Pipestem Triangle: Supports crucibles during heating over a flame.
• Wire Gauze: Sits between flame and glassware to support vessels while heating.
• Buret: Accurately measures the volume of liquids or gases dispensed.
• Hot Hands: Protects hands from burns while handling hot objects.
• Rubber Stopper: Seals openings of glassware like test tubes and flasks.
• Test Tube/Buret Clamp: Secures burettes and test tubes on stands for stability.
• Triangle File: Used for working on angles, grooves, and corners in materials.
• Test Tube Rack: Holds and transports test tubes during experiments.
• Test Tube Brush: Cleans test tubes post-experiment for reuse.
• Glass Plate: Serves as a surface for covering or mixing substances.
• Eye Dropper/Thin Stem Pipette: Transfers small quantities of liquids precisely.
• Beaker: Holds and measures liquids; used in reactions, heating, and titrations.
• Florence Flask: Ideal for uniform heating and swirling of liquids.
• Tongs: Lifts and holds heat-resistant containers safely.
• Gas Measuring Tube/Eudiometer: Measures gas volume changes during reactions.
• Bunsen Burner: Produces a controlled flame for heating and sterilization.
• Microtitration Plate: Contains multiple wells for sample collection and preparation in high-throughput laboratory settings.
• Filter Paper: Separates fine substances from liquids; acts as a semi-permeable barrier.
• Thermometer: Measures temperature in various substances or reactions.
• Mortar and Pestle: Grinds or crushes materials for analysis or experiments.
• Rubber Tubing: Transports fluids and gases safely in laboratory setups.
• Wash Bottle: Rinses glassware and ensures cleanliness between experiments.
• Stirring Rod: Mixes chemicals and liquids evenly during reactions.
• Watch Glass: Holds solids for weighing or heating small quantities safely.
• Forceps: Grasp and hold small objects with precision.
• Graduated Cylinder: Measures liquid volumes accurately for experiments.
• Test Tube: Holds, mixes, or heats small amounts of chemicals; serves as temporary storage.
• Double Buret Clamp: Secures two burets simultaneously for accurate liquid dispensing.
• Crucible and Cover: Heats materials to high temperatures; cover retains heat and contains contents.
• Ring Stand: Stabilizes and holds glassware in desired positions during experiments.
• Volumetric Flask: Measures precise volumes of solutions at specific temperatures.
• Weighing Boat: Protects scale trays while weighing substances for transfer.
• Goggles: Provides eye protection from chemical spills and hazardous materials.
