7 Beaker May be heated Used to hold or mix chemicals

8 Stirring Rod Glass rod used for stirring BE CAREFUL! They break easily

9 Erlenmeyer Flask May be heated Used for mixing chemicals

10 Graduated Cylinder Measures volumes of liquids

11 Test Tube May be heated Holding small amounts of chemicals
For small reactions

12 Wire Gauze Spreads out the heat produced by a Bunsen burner
Can place a beaker on top

13 Test Tube Holder DUHHHHH It holds a test tube

14 Test Tube Rack Holds test tubes in a vertical position.
Allows for clear sight. Drying rack

15 Ring Stand Multi-purpose, mostly used as a support to heat chemicals and hold burets.

16 Funnel Holds filter paper for filtering solutions.
Transferring liquids to smaller narrow necked containers.

17 Ring Clamp One side clamps to ring stand. Place wire gauze on ring and it will hold beakers and flasks for heating. Can hold small beakers or funnels.

25 Bunsen Burner (& Striker)
Controls release of natural gas for burning. Tubing connects to gas source. Striker with flint is used to ignite the burner (or matches).

26 Electronic Balance Measures mass in grams

27 Rubber Stopper Covers test tube for mixing

28 Scoopula Used to transfer solids from one container to another

29 Test Tube Brush Cleans out a test tube
