Decanting funnel
A decantation funnel, decanting flask, or separating funnel is a glass item that is
can be found in laboratories, and is used to separate two immiscible liquids, that is, for the
separation of liquid phases of different density. [1] At the top, it has a sealable mouth.

These are straight-walled beakers, widely used for valuations. They can be heated directly on the

RLENMEYER with lateral detachment
This has a lateral discharge tube attached to the neck of the flask. This allows for the escape of vapors.

They are glass cylinders closed at one end that are used for heating, dissolving, or making.

They should be used when heating is needed.
BEAKER PRECIPITATION VESSELS
They have a very broad field of application: they are used to prepare, dissolve, or heat substances. Along with the
the flask, the test tube, and the test tubes constitute what is called in the laboratory 'Glassware for use'

small beak-shaped appendage to facilitate the pouring of substances when transferring.
They can be graduated or marked, although their accuracy is less than that of a graduated flask or a graduated cylinder.
The watch glass or watch crystal
It is a circular concave-convex glass lens. It is called this because of its resemblance to the glass of the
antique pocket watches. It is used in chemistry to evaporate liquids, weigh solid products or as a cover.
of beakers, and contain partially corrosive substances. Its most common use is to weigh
solid samples; although it is also used to weigh wet samples after filtration, it is
say, after filtering the liquid and leaving only the solid sample.
The watch glass is also used at times as a lid for a beaker, primarily for

Volumetric apparatus
Pipette:
Pipette, a laboratory instrument used to measure or transfer small amounts of liquid. It is a
a glass tube open at both ends and wider in its central part. Its lower end, finished in
The tip is introduced into the liquid; by sucking at its upper end, the liquid rises up the pipette.
The two types of pipettes that are most frequently used in laboratories are the Mohr pipette or graduated pipette and
the pouring pipette. In the first one, different volumes of liquid can be measured, as it has a scale.
graduated. The pouring pipette has a single circular neck at its top, so it can only measure
a volume.
The capacity of a pipette ranges from less than 1 ml to 100 ml. Sometimes they are used as a substitute for the
burettes, when there is a need to measure liquid volumes more precisely
This material comes in two presentations:
Graduated pipettes.
Volumetric pipettes.
The first ones allow measuring various volumes according to their capacity, the second ones are not graduated and
they only allow measuring a single volume
FLASK: it is used to accurately measure a determined volume of liquid. The graduation mark

The correct way to measure volumes is to carrytheliquiduntil the lower partr delmeniscusseatangentto the

Flasks are available in volumes ranging from 1ml to 2l. Their main use is to prepare solutions.

The graduated cylinders are usually graduated, meaning they have a scale engraved on the outside that allows measurement.

other instruments, for example pipettes.

The two main types of burettes are Geissler burettes and Mohr burettes.
PICNOMETER
Oh specific gravity bottle, it is a sealed glass jar with a cap equipped with
a very fine capillary, such that a volume can be obtained with great precision. This allows for measurement of the
density of a fluid, in reference to that of a fluid with known density such as water or mercury.
PORCELAIN CRUCIBLE
Allows heating chemical compounds at high temperatures.

A laboratory stand, universal stand, or universal base is a piece of laboratory equipment where
The laboratory clamps are secured with double nuts. They are used to hold test tubes, burettes,
filter funnels, decantation funnels, etc. It is also used to assemble distillation apparatuses and
other similar more complex teams.

Test tube clamps
They allow holding test tubes, and if they need to be heated, they are always held with these clamps.

Combustion spoon
It is used to carry out small combustions of substances, to observe the type of flame, reaction, etc.
Porcelain capsule
It is used to evaporate liquids, due to its shallow depth in relation to its diameter. It is also used
to dry, or to melt solids with a not very high melting temperature.
