The list of the chemistry apparatus:

1. Beaker - a liquid-measuring container

2. Burette - measures volume of solution

3. Clay triangle - a wire frame with porcelain used to support a crucible

4. Wire gauze - used to spread heat of a burner flame

5. Test tube - used as holder of small amount of solution

6. Forceps - holds or pick up small objects

2

7. Graduated cylinder - measures approximate volume of liquids

8. Graduated pipette - measures solution volumes

9. Condenser - used in distillation

10. Crucible - used to heat a small amount of a solid substance at a very high temperature

11. Funnel - used to transfer solids and liquids without spilling

12. Thermometer - measures temperature

3

13. Balance - measures mass of material

14. pH meter - measures acidity of solutions

15. Centrifuge - separates materials of varying density

16. Pipette - used to transfer measured substances into another vessel

17. Droppers - for addition of liquids, drop by drop

18. Glass funnels - for funneling liquids from one container to another, or for filtering when equipped with filter paper.

19. Ring stand (with rings or clamps) - for holding pieces of glassware in place.

20. Test tubes - for holding small samples or for containing small-scale reactions

21. Test-tube holders - for holding test tubes when tubes should not be touched

22. Tongs - similar function to forceps, but are useful for larger items

23. Volumetric flasks - to measure precise volumes of liquid or to make precise dilutions.

24. Wash bottles - for dispensing small quantities of distilled water.

25. Watch glasses - for holding small samples or for covering beakers or evaporating dishes.

26. Viscometer is an instrument used to measure the viscosity of a fluid

27. A Thistle Tube is an important piece of laboratory glassware consisting of a tube, with a reservoir and funnel like shape at the top. This lab glassware is used by chemists/researchers to add liquid to an existing system of apparatus. A thistle tube is specially designed to allow insertion through a small hole present in some stoppers, this allows the tube to be inserted into a different kinds of flasks.

28. Water bath is a device used for regulating the temperature of substances subjected to heat.

29. The test tube rack is used to hold test tubes while reactions happen in them or while they are not needed.

30. Stoppers come in many different sizes. The sizes are from 0 to 8. Stoppers can have holes for thermometers and for other probes that may be used.

31. The stir rods are used to stir things. They are usually made of glass. Stir Rods are very useful in the lab setting.

32. The Mortar and Pestle are used to crush solids into powders for experiments, usually to better dissolve the solids.

33. The Microspatula, commonly called a spatula, is used for moving small amounts of solid from place to place.

34. The Florence Flask is used for heating substances that need to be heated evenly. The bulbed bottom allows the heat to distribute through the liquid more evenly. The Florence Flask is mostly used in distillation experiments.

35. The Evaporating Dish is used to heat and evaporate liquids.

36. The Erlenmeyer flask is used to heat and store liquids.
