Uses of Common Laboratory Apparatus

Beakers are used for the purpose of being a reation container. It is used to hold liquids and solids it is also sometimes used to catch liquid from titrations and filtrates from different filtering operations. Bunsen Burners is used to give heat to the experiment. Burets is for a specific volume of liquid. The liquid can be determined to the nearest 0.01 mL. The Clay Triangles are used as a support for a funnel, or evaporating dish. Droppers are to add more liquid drop by drop. This allows them to be very carefully with the measurements since to much or to little can destroy the experiment. Erlenmeyere flasks are used to hold liquid samples and they are also used to cath filtrates. Glass Funnels are used to funnel liduid into small topped containers carefully, having chemicals spill can be harmful. Graduated Cylinders are for measuring amounts of liquid. Pipets are used to dispense an even smaller amount of liquid than a doppler. Ring Stands with clamps are used to hold the glass containers and tubes so that they are sturdy and in one place. Less likely to have a spill this way. Test Tubes are used for holding samples and testing them. Test Tubes Holders are for holding the tubes when you do not need to touch them. Wash Bottles are used for keeping distilled water that way it is available when needed. Watch Glasses are used holding samples and covering beakers.Gauze which is wire is used as a support for a beaker. This gauze should be heated by a Bunsen Burner.
