NAME FUNCTION PICTURE

Designed to measure small

 Balances mass in the sub-milligram
range.

 Beaker Used for mixing, stirring, and

heating chemicals.

 Bunsen Burners Device for combining a

flammable gas with
controlled amounts
of air before ignition.

 Burette Used in analytical chemistry

for the dispensing of variable
amount of a chemical
solution and measuring that
amount at the same time.

 Clamp stand Clamps can be attached to

hold other pieces of
equipment.

Used to transfer small

 Dropper quantities of liquids.

 Evaporating Dish Used to evaporate excess

solvents to produce a
concentrated solution or a
solid precipitate of the
dissolved substance.
 Filter Paper Used to separate fine
substances from liquids or
air.

 Florence Flask Used as a container to hold

liquids; designed for uniform
heating, boiling, distillation
and ease of swirling.

 Forceps Used when fingers are too

large to grasp small objects
or when many objects need
to be held at one time while
the hands are used to
perform a task.

 Glass Funnel Used to channel liquid or

fine-grained substances into
containers with a small
opening.

Used for measuring volumes

 Graduated Cylinder (amounts) of liquids.

 Mortar & Pestle A mortar is a vessel in which

substances are ground or
crushed with a pestle. A
pestle is a tool used to crush,
mash or grind materials in a
mortar.
 Pipette Used in chemistry, biology
and medicine to transport a
measured volume of liquid,
often as a media dispenser.

 Stirring rod Used to mix chemicals and

liquids for laboratory
purposes.
 Used to hold, mix, and heat
 Test tube chemical experiments. They
are used as homes for
microorganisms when people
want to culture (grow) them.

 Test tube holder Used to hold Test Tubes. It is

used for holding a test tube
in place when the tube is hot
or should not be touched.

 Tong Used for grasping and lifting

vessels of heat-resistant
material used in high
temperature chemical
reactions.

 Wash bottles Used to rinse various pieces

of laboratory glassware, such
as test tubes and round
bottom flasks.

 Wire gauze Is placed on the support ring

that is attached to the retort
stand between the Bunsen
burner and the beakers in
order to support
the beakers or other
glassware or flasks during
heating.

 Microscope Allows the user to view

specimens too small for the
human eye to discern.
