General Chemistry
General use material
(General use material)
Gradilla
Metal piece,
plastic or wood
with drills in the
which are introduced
the test tubes.
Support
Metal ring
Support: It is usually made of metal,
consisting of a long rod
coiled on a base. To him it
hold the containers that are
they need to carry out the
mountings.
Aro: It is a circular iron ring
that adapts to the support
universal. It serves as a support for
other utensils like: cups of
precipitates, funnels,…
Double walnut
(good night)
Allow to hold
various devices to
support, carrying out
so the mounts
necessary for the
experiments
Tweezers
(Mobile clamp pliers)
Metallic instrument, which
due to pressure from the
extremities of its two
arms allow the
subjection of various
devices in the assemblies
experimental.
Subject:
burettes, flasks, ...
Glass rods
Spatulas and spoons
Bars: They are used for
shake the solutions
Spatulas: They are used
to take from the
bottles the amounts
what we need from the
products.
Mortar and pestle
(Mortar and man)
Glass container that
it is used to crush or
grind the solids that are
they want to reduce to paste or
dust.
Rubber hoses
Brush (small glass)
Rubber tubes: It
they are used in montages
Brush: For cleaning
neck containers
long: test tubes,
probes,…
Curling irons
Wooden clips
Curling irons: They allow
holding crucibles.
Tweezers: Allow
hold tubes of
essay.
Material to contain substances
(Containers for holding substances)
Wash jar
Plastic bottle with
plug drilled by the
what comes out of a tube.
It is used for rinsing
the material.
Erlenmeyer flask
truncated conical flask of
wide base glass and
narrow and short neck.
It usually has a layover
graduated that allows
measure different volumes.
It is used in evaluations.
and in distillation.
Beakers
Glass container of
cylindrical shape and bottom
plan.
It is used:
-To contain liquids that
intervene in processes
chemicals, such as the
precipitation.
To heat substances.
Reagent bottle
Glass bottles that
they are used to store
reactants in the
laboratory.
Round bottom flask
Glass flask of
rounded background, that
it is used when
we want to heat a
substance of form
homogeneous.
Test tube
Centrifuge tube
Small glass tube with a
open tip and the other closed and
rounded, which is used for
to contain small samples
liquids, carry out reactions, etc...
Centrifuge tubes are usually
conical. (Centrifugation:
separation of a mixture
heterogeneous of solid - liquid,
in its two phases)
Measurement of liquid volumes
(Liquid volume measurement)
Bureta
Long closed glass tube
on one end with a key and
open on the other side.
The tube is exactly
graduated in tenths of c.c.
so that the amount of
liquid that is allowed to flow out by the
key can be measured with
all precision in such
units.
It is used in volumetric analysis.
Pipette
Open glass tube at both ends and
widened in its middle part.
It is used to transfer small amounts of
liquid. (To perform this operation you
insert the lower end of the pipette into the
liquid and is sucked through the other end until
that the liquid rises to the desired height.
We use in the laboratory:
Graduated pipette: has its capacity engraved
about the crystal.
Graduated pipette: carries a scale etched on it
graduated in science and submultiples of this unit.
It is used to measure small volumes.
Rubber pear
Pipette vacuum
Rubber utensils or
plastic that is used
to suction liquids,
and allow them to be dosed.
The vacuum cleaner has wheels
of load and valve of
emptying.
Gradilla
Metal piece,
plastic or wood
with drills in the
which are introduced
the test tubes.
Volumetric flask
Glass flask, of bottom
flat and pear-shaped, with
long and narrow neck, that
it has a line engraved on it
transversal around it,
corresponding to the volume
exactly from the flask at 20ºC.
It is used to prepare
dissolutions.

SOLHUV
Analytical balance
High-level balance of
precision, recommended
to weigh quantities
of small substance.
It is enclosed in a
showcase to avoid
air currents that
influence the heavy.
Electronic scale
Compact scale with
steel plate
removable.
It is used for weighing
solid material when
requires a certain
precision.
Warming
(warming)
Tripod
Grill (grate)
Grid: It is a wire fabric of
quadrangular shape with the part
central recubierta de amianto
(non-flammable material), with the
objective of achieving a better
distributionof theheat.
Tripod: Metal frame of three
legs, on which the grid rests.
Triangle
Metal triangle
covered with a
refractory substance.
On him is placed the
container that
we just removed from
fire, thus protecting
the work table.
Bunsen burner
(Bunsen Burner)
Gas burner with
the one that is obtained a
great llama
heat intensity.
Alcohol lighter
Bunsen burner
Glass container in
bottle-shaped, with
stopper, socket holder and
mecha.
Heat source.
Thermometer
Device intended for
measure the temperature.
In it, each degree is
subdividido en décimas
of degree.
["Filtration","Crystallization","Decantation"]
and distillation
Funnel
(funnel)
They can be made of glass or
plastic and long stem,
short or medium.
They are useful for filtering
substances and for
pack them in others
containers, avoiding the
spillage
accidental.
Decantation funnel
decantation funnel
They are made of glass, in shape
of pear and with a key.
They are used to separate
liquids of different
densities.
Crystallizer
Glass container that is
used to prepare crops and
various solutions, as well as
to observe the process of the
substances that produce
reactions. They also allow
carry out the process of
Crystallization (separation in
form of crystals of a solid
dissolved in water, by means of the
vaporization of it.
Büchner funnel
(Büchner funnel)
Porcelain funnel with
the holed base, about
a paper is placed here
of filter.
Se acopla por su extremo
inferior through a
drilled cork to
Kitasato flask.
Kitasato Flask
Thick-walled flask,
with a lateral tubing.
It is used in the leakages:
in their mouth it fits
through a cork
pierced funnel
Büchner and in the piping,
through a rubber the
water spout.
Device that is
adjusts to a faucet and makes
that a fast current
from water it breathes the air
from a container through
from a side tube. The
suction is very strong.
Water spout It is also called
water trumpet vacuum trumpet.
Distillation flask
Glass flask of
rounded background, with
side tubing.
It is used for heating
liquids whose vapors
they must follow a path
thank you (towards the
soda), so that
they have an exit
lateral
Soda
refrigerant
It is made up of a long tube
where it is passed through the
vapor. This tube is coated
for a cooling shirt
where water is circulated
from the faucet in counterflow to
vapor. As the steam
it crosses the cooling tube
cools (the cooling water
it heats up) and condenses into droplets
that fall from the bottom,
that is collected in a
Erlenmeyer.
