Study Notes
Laboratory Apparatus
- Graduated cylinders are ideal for precise measurement of small liquid quantities.
- Test tubes are versatile tools for a range of chemical experiments, often involving the heating of small amounts of solids or liquids.
- Bunsen burners provide a hot flame, fueled by a mix of flammable gases.
- Test tube holders securely grip test tubes during experiments.
- Beakers are essential for measuring larger volumes of liquids and can be used for boiling mixtures.
- Funnels are used for transferring liquids or solids through small openings, and for holding filters during filtration processes.
- Stirring rods are helpful for mixing solutions.
- Tongs provide a safe method for handling hot materials.
- Test tube brushes are specifically designed for cleaning the insides of test tubes after an experiment.
- Test tube racks serve as containers for test tubes during investigations, and they can also be used to store cleaned test tubes upside down for drying.
- Mortar and pestle sets are used for grinding and crushing solid substances.
- Microscopes are used for magnifying extremely small objects.
- Flasks are great for measuring larger amounts of liquids, as well as for receiving or containing liquid substances.
