Glassware Identification

• You will write the name and description of each item and a quick drawing if needed.

• Presentation will be on my website as well for review.

• Glassware ID quiz next class as well as lab safety quiz.

Beaker• General purpose glassware

• Used to mix solutions, transport chemicals

• Heat chemicals at relatively low temperatures

• Not used for measuring

volumes

Erlenmeyer Flask• Also general purpose glassware• Functions same as beaker• The sloped sides make it good at mixing/swirling

liquids

Test tube

• General purpose, mixing chemicals

• Can easily examine contents

Test tube rack• Supports test tubes

• Warning: hot test tubes will melt it.

Graduated Cylinder• Accurately measures liquid volumes

• 50mL and 10mL

Watch glass• Use to slowly and gently evaporate

liquids

• Can be used as a lid for beakers

Rubber Stopper

• Used as a “lid” for flasks and test tubes

Scoopula• Transfer solids, scoop chemicals

Evaporating dish

• Heat or evaporate liquids or solids

Glass Stirring rod• Duh!

Crucible• Heat solids to very high temperatures

• Fragile

Clay Triangle• Supports crucible when being heated

Pipet• Transfer small, amounts of liquids

Crucible Tong• Designed to pick-up a crucible

Beaker Tong• Designed to pick up a beaker

Test tube clamp• Duh!

Utility Clamp• Used to support a test tube specifically,

or any glassware

Ring Stand• Used to support various clamps

Iron Ring• Supports clay triangle and wire mesh

Electronic Balance• Accurately measures mass to .001 g

Hot Plate• Used to heat substances at low

temperatures

Wire Mesh• Used to support glassware on the

ringstand

• Disperses heat

Bunsen burner• High temperature heat source

Water Bottle (H2O)

• Pure water (H2O), used only as directed or for making solutions.

• Not used for cleaning or a squirt gun.

Cleaning Brushes

• Flask brush

• Beaker brush

Cleaning brushes

• Test tube brush

• Graduated cylinder brush

Well plate• Used to observe small scale chemical

reactions

Buret• Used to deliver very precise amounts of

liquids in a titration

Mortar and pestel

• Grinding solids

Temperature probe

• Accurately measures temperatures in celsius
