Chemistry laboratory work shop to learn skill, technique and important concepts of
chemistry. Before conducting any experiment, students should be familiar with
commonly used apparatus.
Test tube: It is a hollow cylindrical thin glass tube with one end closed.
Beaker: Flat bottomed cylindrical vessel of different capacities such as 100,150, 200 ml. It is made up of glass.
Boiling tube: It is similar to that of test tube but it is made of hard glass.
Funnel: It is a cone shaped glass of different diameter with a narrow mouth at the bottom i.e. is long. It is used for filtering.
Conical flask: It is a glass vessel with conical shape with a narrow mouth. It
is used for titration.
Burette: It is a graduated cylindrical tube. There is a nozzle and a stop cork at
the end of tube used for titrations.
Measuring flask: It is used in quantitative analysis to prepare a solution of a
particular volume. The flask of different capacities 50,100,200,etc.
are used.
Glass rod: Used for mixing solution for dissolving solid in a liquid.
Pipette: It is a long tube with a bulb in the middle. It is used to measure fixed
volume of solution. It is narrow at the ends.
China Dish: It is made up of porcelain used for evaporation, crystallization etc.
Tripod stand: It is used as a support to keep China dish or beaker.
Wire gauze: It is a square piece of thin wire mesh with soft asbestos coating
in the middle. It is placed on a tripod stand for the safe heating of
the glass vessel.
Other familiar apparatus used in the chemistry lab are as follows:
* Watch glass
* Wash bottle
* Water bath
* Funnel stand etc.
