Recognition and Use of Laboratory Material
II. OBJECTIVE:
Familiarize the student with the existing material in the Chemistry laboratory.
Understand the utility that each of the materials has.
Know and comply with the established rules for efficient work.
laboratory.
III. INTRODUCTION:
In the laboratory, a variety of tools are used for the execution of the
experiences. But before starting any experimental work, it is necessary
that the student knows the material that is used. Each of the materials has
a function and its use must be appropriate to the task at hand. Inadequate use
these lead to errors in the experiences carried out and increases the risk in the
laboratory. Hence the importance of a correct recognition of the materials of
laboratory and its uses.
IV. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:
The main materials will be briefly mentioned and described below.
they make up a laboratory:
Test tube or assay tube
It consists of a small cylindrical glass tube with an open tip.
to have one lid) and the other closed and rounded.
Usage: it is used in laboratories to hold small liquid samples.
although they may have othersphases,how to carry outchemical reactions in
small scale, etc.
Gradilla
It is made of wood, plastic, or metal.
Use: Its main function is to facilitate the handling of test tubes.
It is normally used to hold and store this material.
3. Discharge Tube
A gas vent tube is an angled tube that acts as
lateral exit of someglass containersfrom those used in the laboratory.
Use: Transport of gases from one container to another.
4. Sulfhydric Tube
Test tube which also has a release tube that comes out of it
side part.
Use: evacuate thegasesproduced in achemical reaction in order to be able to
isolate them by trapping them by making themto babblein adissolutionadequate.
5. Ball
It is a glass jar, with a long neck and a spherical body. Designed for heating.
uniform, and it is produced with different thicknesses of glass for different uses.
Its rounded base allows you to shake or easily remove its contents.
However, this same feature also makes it more susceptible to
to turn over and spill.
Erlenmeyer flask
The Erlenmeyer flask consists of a transparent glass bottle with a conical shape.
wide and elongated base, very narrow neck, with an opening at the end
narrow, generally elongated with a cylindrical neck. They are found in
various capabilities, colors, and with some variations. They usually include a few
marks to know approximately the contained volume.
Use: Due to its truncated conical shape, it is useful for making mixtures by agitation.
for the controlled evaporation of liquids, as it largely prevents the
liquid loss; moreover, its narrow opening allows for the use
ofplugs.
Distillation Flask
The distillation flask, also called a distillation flask or Florentine flask. It is
a ball that carries adischarge tubelateral, adjacent to the neck.
Use: allows the release of vapors during a distillation with direction
to thecapacitor.
8. Distillation Flask (Kitasato)
It could be defined as aErlenmeyer flaskwith adischarge tubeo
side tubing.
Use: Its most widespread use is in thevacuum [Link] also serves for
conduct experiments with water, such as distillation, gas collection
hydropneumatics (displacement of volumes), etc.
9. Capacitor
A cooling tube or condenser is a laboratory apparatus, built inglass.
Usage:condensethevaporthat arise from theflaskofdistillationfor
half of acoolantthat circulates through this, usually water.
[Link]
Instrumentvolumetricfrom the laboratory that is usually of [Link] is made up of a
transparent tube that ends in a conical shape at one of its ends, and has a
graduation (a series of engraved marks) indicating different volumes.
Usage: allows measuring therateof liquid with considerable precision.
11. Bureta
Burettes are short, graduated tubes with a uniform internal diameter, equipped with
ashut-off valveor shut-off valve at its bottom called a tap.
Usage: They are used to see variable amounts of liquids, and for that reason they are
graduated with small subdivisions (depending on the volume, in tenths
of a milliliter or less). Its main use occursvolumetrics,due to the
need to accurately measure variable liquid volumes.
[Link] tube
Glass container for measuring volumes, its accuracy is quite acceptable.
although below the pipette. They come in very different capacities: 10, 25, 50 and
100 ml.
Graduated Flask
It is a glass material for measuring volumes with great precision. There are of
very varied capacities: 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000 mL. It only measures the
volume indicated in the flask. It cannot be heated or have hot liquids poured into it.
Uses: It is used in the preparation of solutions.
14. Beaker
A beaker or precipitating vessel is acontainercylindricalmade of glass
fine with a flat bottom; they are available in various capacities, from 1mluntil from
variousliters,
Usage: above all, to prepare or heat substances and transferliquids.
They are usually fromglassor ofrubberthose whose objective is

[Link] Support
Use: It is used in the assembly of many laboratory equipment.
[Link]
The crucible is a device that is typically made ofgraphitewith certain content
ofclayand can withstand elements at hightemperatures.
Use: used for melting substances and in the determination of theanalysis
gravimetricquantitative (analysis measuring thedoughfrom the substance to
analyze).
[Link]
Use: To hold and provide support for the different materials of the
laboratory.
Tripod
Use: to support the asbestos fabric
[Link]
Use: Hold a crucible, a beaker, etc. while it is subjected to
the flame of the lighter.
Asbestos Cloth
Usage: Glass containers are placed in it for even heating.
Propipeta
Use: It is used together with a graduated pipette to avoid sucking with the mouth.
toxic liquids, corrosive or that emit vapors.
22. Filter paper
Use: its purpose is to befilterfor the impuritiesinsolubleand allow the
step to thesolutionthrough itsporous.
[Link] Moon
It is also called watch glass.
Usage: it is used to evaporate liquids, weigh solid products, or as a cover.
of beakers, and contain partially corrosive substances.
24. Mortar with pestle
They are used to grind solids into powder, also to crush.
vegetables, add an appropriate solvent and then extract the
pigments, etc.
Bunsen burner
A lighter or Bunsen burner is a type of gas burner that uses pre-mixing.
The flame is the product of the combustion of a mixture of air and gas.
Use: The Bunsen burner is one of the sources ofheatsimpler of the
laboratory and is used to obtain not very high temperatures.
26. Brush
Material made with natural hair fiber.
Usage: according to the diameter, they are used for washing: test tubes, burettes, beakers.
of precipitate, Erlenmeyer, etc.
27. Washer bottles
Containers in general made of plastic with a cap and a thin bent tube, which contain
distilled or deionized water.
Use: It is used to give the final rinse to the glass material after
washing, and in the preparation of solutions.
28. Dropper bottle with nipple
Usually used to hold freshly prepared solutions,

Glass funnel
It is used to transfer liquids or solutions from one container to another.
Also for filtering, in this case a cone or folded paper filter is placed.
