Study Notes

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.
