    Study Notes

    Laboratory Apparatus and Their Functions

    • Burette: Used for quantitative chemical analysis to measure liquid or gas volume; features a graduated glass tube with a stopcock for precise control during titrations.

    • Crucible: Cup-shaped equipment essential for containing chemical compounds when subjected to high heating, often used in various heating applications.

    • Separatory Funnel: Essential for liquid-liquid extractions; enables the separation of mixtures between immiscible solvents of varying densities.

    • Florence Flask: Designed for even heating of substances; widely utilized in distillation experiments due to its bulbed bottom which promotes uniform heat distribution.

    • Volumetric Flask: Specifically crafted for measuring and containing precise volumes of liquids, ensuring accuracy in chemical preparations.

    • Erlenmeyer Flask: Commonly employed for heating and boiling substances; its conical shape reduces the risk of spills during vigorous stirring or boiling.

    • Dropper: Device for transferring small liquid quantities; typically made from plastic and intended for single-use, ensuring hygienic handling of chemicals.

    • Weighing Boat: Serves as a container for dry chemicals before weighing, allowing for easy transfer and reducing contamination risks.

    • Pipette: Instrument tailored for transporting measured liquid volumes, crucial for precision in liquid handling.

    • Mortar and Pestle: Tool for grinding and mixing substances; the pestle acts as a heavy stick for pounding, while the mortar serves as the bowl.

    • Beaker: Basic laboratory container for liquids; widely used due to its versatility and ease of use.

    • Graduated Cylinder: Instrument designed for accurately measuring liquid volumes, crucial for various chemical reactions.

    • Glass Funnel: Facilitates the transfer of liquids into containers, minimizing spills and losses during pouring.

    • Büchner Funnel: Specialized for suction filtration processes, enhancing efficiency in separating solids from liquids.

    • Centrifuge Tube: Commonly utilized in centrifugation for separating components based on density, especially in laboratory settings.

    • Test Tube: Clear, cylindrical glass tube for experimentation; versatile for sample reactions and observations.

    • Test Tube Holder: Instrument for securely holding test tubes during reactions or when not in use, ensuring safety and stability.

    • Iron Ring: Supports items being heated, often used with clamps to position items over heat sources like Bunsen burners.

    • Watch Glass: Circular, slightly concave glass used for evaporating liquids and covering beakers; also effective for holding solids during weighing.

    • Evaporating Dish: Specifically designed for heating and evaporating liquids, enabling concentration of solutions.

    • Clay Triangle: Used to support crucibles over a heat source, typically resting on a tripod to stabilize and distribute heat evenly.

    • Thistle Tube: Glassware with a reservoir and funnel section, used for adding liquids into an existing apparatus setup, facilitating smooth liquid transfers.

    • Thermometer: Device for measuring temperatures of solids, liquids, and gases; commonly calibrated in degrees Celsius (°C), crucial for temperature control in experiments.
