Beakers are the most versatile glassware in
the lab and can be used for just about
anything. The volume graduations on
beakers should be used only for "ballpark"
estimates.

Bunsen Burner
Before lighting, check to be sure barrel is turned
so no oxygen is getting to flame

Used for heating, sterilization, and combustionErlenmeyer Flask
~ Is a widely used type of laboratory
flask which has a conical base with a
cylindrical neck
~ Itis used to contain reaction solutions.
~ Used in filtrations and distillations
Evaporating Dish
_ This dish is used to recover dissolved
solids by evaporation. While it can be
heated, it should not be used for "strong"
heating.
_ Heat gently to avoid spatteringey
Funnel Vv
Lt
When lined with filter paper, used to filter
suspended solids from a liquid.
Used for filtration
Filter paper- fold in half, fold in half again, open
b/w 1 and 3, place in filter
Slightly dampen filter with solvent to hold in place
