| Question | Answer |
| beaker This glassware is used as a container for stirring, mixing and heating liquids. It is cylindrical in shape, with a flat bottom. | |
| Florence flask This glassware is used as a container to hold liquids. It has round body with a flat bottom and a single long neck. It is named after Florence, Italy. | |
| Erlenmeyer flask This glassware is named after the German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer. It is used as container for mixing contents by swirling. It has a flat bottom, a conical body, and a cylindrical neck. | |
| evaporating dish This is a Porcelain that is used for the evaporation of solutions and liquids. It can withstand high heat and is sometimes made of glass. | |
| funnel This is a pipe with a wide, often with a conical mouth and a narrow stem. It is used to channel liquid or fine-grained substances into containers with a small opening. It is sometimes made of glass, stainless steel. | |
| wire gauze This is used to support a container (such as a beaker or flask) during heating. It is used to help spread the flame (and heat) out evenly over the container. | |
| triple beam balance This balance is used to measure the mass of an object. | |
| microscope This is an instrument used to see objects that are too small for the naked eye. | |
| graduated cylinder This glassware is a measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder. It is used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape. | |
| tripod This is a three-legged equipment used as a platform to hold and support glassware, such as beakers and flasks, during experiments. | |
| Bunsen burner This is a laboratory equipment that produces a single open gas flame. It is used for heating, sterilization, and combustion. The gas can be natural gas (which is mainly methane) or a liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane, butane, or a mixture of both. It is named after Robert Bunsen. | |
| magnifying glass This is used to produce a magnified image of an object. | |
| pipette This glassware allows extremely accurate measurement of a volume of solution. It has a large bulb with a long narrow portion above with a single graduation mark as it is calibrated for a single volume. | |
| thistle tube This glassware is used by chemists to add liquid to an existing system or apparatus. consists of a shaft of tube, with a reservoir and funnel-like section at the top. | |
| stirring rod This glassware is used to mix chemicals and liquids for laboratory purposes. It has the thickness of a drinking straw but slightly longer, with a rounded end | |
| thermometer This is a device that measures temperature. | |
| spring balance This device measures weight. It consists of a spring fixed at one end with a hook to attach an object at the other. | |
| electronic scale This is an electronic device used to find accurate measurements of weight. | |
| pipette bulb This is used to draw liquid up into a pipette. | |
| iron stand This is used to support an iron ring, or iron clamp. | |
| safety goggles This is a protective eyewear that usually encloses or protects the area surrounding the eye in order to prevent particulates, water or chemicals from striking the eyes. | |
| alcohol lamp This is used to produce a smokeless and residue-free flame. The flame is cooler than that of a Bunsen burner. It has a small jar with a special lid that holds a round cotton wick. | |
| test tube This glassware is used to hold, mix, or heat small quantities of solid or liquid chemicals. It has a round bottom and straight sides that minimize mass loss when pouring, easier to clean, and allows convenient monitoring of the contents. It is sometimes made of plastic. | |
| test tube brush This is used to clean test tubes. | |
| test tube holder This is used to distance a person from potentially dangerous tasks when using chemicals in test tube. | |
| test tube rack This is used to hold, store, and support test tubes so that they do not roll away, tip over, break, or strike one another. | |
| crucible tongs This is used to handle hot objects such as crucibles, and evaporating dishes. It is made of stainless or brass. | |
| mortar and pestle This is used for crushing, grinding and mixing substances into paste or powder. | |
| crucible This is a ceramic container in which metals or other substances may be melted or subjected to very high temperatures. It is sometimes made of steel. | |
| watch glass This glassware is used as a surface to evaporate a liquid, to hold solids while being weighed, or as a cover for a beaker. It is a circular concave piece of glass. | |
| glass slide This is used to hold objects for examination under a microscope. | |
| clay triangle This is used to support items being heated by a Bunsen burner or another heat source. It is made of wires strung in an equilateral triangle on which are strung hollow ceramic tubes. | |
| Petri dish This glassware is used to culture cells – such as bacteria – or small mosses. It is named after the German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri. It is a shallow cylindrical glass or plastic lidded dish. |
