2025 GENERAL CHEMISTRY Laboratory equipment M.Sc Mustafa A. Al -jumaili  LABORATORY OF CHEMISTRY The chemistry lab is a practical learning environment designed to apply the theoretical concepts studied in lectures. It provides students with the opportunity to understand the nature of chemical substances and the reactions between them through a variety of experiments, such as measuring physical properties, observing reactions, and analyzing results. Practical experiments include: Understanding the physical and chemical properties of substances. Exploring the mechanisms of chemical reactions. Proper use of chemical tools and equipment. Synthesis of novel compounds and determination of chemical volumes and concentrations. M. S c M u s t af a A. A l - j u m ai l i SIGNIFICANCE OF LABORATORY GLASSWARE 1 laboratory glassware is a critical component of any chemistry laboratory. 2 it enables precise measurements, accurate observations, and safe handling of chemicals. 3 the right choice of glassware ensures reliable and reproducible results. COMMON TYPES OF LABORATORY GLASSWARE Beaker Flasks Test Tubes M. Sc M u s t af a A. A l - j u m ai l i 1 BEAKERS: widely used for general mixing, heating, and storing liquids. available in various sizes and shapes. 2 FLASKS: include two types volumetric and conical flask. they are used for storing, mixing, and measuring liquids, a similar role to beakers and graduated cylinders. 3 TEST TUBES: Used for small-scale reactions, observations, and storage. May have a stopper with different colors or without. COMMON TYPES OF LABORATORY GLASSWARE MICROPIPETTE GRADUATED CYLINDER BOTTLE WASH M. Sc M u s t af a A. A l - j u m ai l i 1 MICROPIPETTE: used for moving small amounts of liquid or when measuring and dispensing liquid in µl units. 2 GRADUATED CYLINDER: is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid in ml units. 3 BOTTLE WASH: to wash or rinse various pieces of glassware or plasticware in the laboratory. COMMON TYPES OF LABORATORY GLASSWARE FUNNEL DISPOSABLE DROPPER BURETTE M. Sc M u s t af a A. A l - j u m ai l i 1 FUNNEL: is a laboratory tool used to transfer liquids or fine-grained substances into containers with small openings, preventing spills and ensuring accuracy during transfer. 2 DISPOSABLE DROPPER: is a tool used to transfer tiny amounts of liquid. 3 BURETTES: delivers measured volumes of liquids with high accuracy and essential for titrations and analytical techniques. COMMON TYPES OF LABORATORY INSTRUMENT CENTRIFUGE SPECTROPHOTOMETER SENSITIVE BALANCE M. Sc M u s t af a A. A l - j u m ai l i  CENTRIFUGE: used to separate heterogeneous mixtures into their various 1 components – liquids in liquids, solids in liquids, One of the most common uses is to separate red blood cells and other blood components from whole blood. SPECTROPHOTOMETER: measure light intensity as a function of wavelength 2 and are commonly used to measure the concentration of a compound in an aqueous solution. 3 SENSITIVE BALANCE: used to measure small quantities of chemicals, compounds, and reagents. COMMON TYPES OF LABORATORY INSTRUMENT WATER BATH SPATULA MAGNETIC HOT PLATE M. Sc M u s t af a A. A l - j u m ai l i  WATER BATH: A laboratory device used to maintain samples at a constant 1 temperature by immersing them in water. SPATULA: A small hand tool used in laboratories to transfer or mix solid 2 chemicals. 3 MAGNETIC HOT PLATE: A laboratory device that combines heating and magnetic stirring, used to evenly heat and mix liquid samples simultaneously.  CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Rinse glassware with the appropriate solvent before and after use. - Use brushes and cleaning agents suitable for glass. - Store glassware properly to prevent damage. M. Sc M u s t af a A. A l - j u m ai l i CONCLUSION - Laboratory glassware plays a crucial role in chemical experiments. - Choosing the right glassware ensures accuracy, reliability, and safety. - Understanding the functions and proper care of glass tools enhances the quality of research.  THANK YOU FOR LISTENING
