Lab Equipment

I am used to protect your eyes from chemicals, heat, and glassware. Glasses do not provide the same protection that I do.

What piece of equipment is in this image?

• beaker

• Erlenmeyer flask

• graduated cylinder

• test tube

I am where experimentation occurs. I am kept clean and tidy for safety reasons

What is the function of this piece of equipment?

• I am used to precisely measure the volume of a liquid with the help of the meniscus.

• I am used during a titration to hold the titrant and indicator. I can be used to measure volume, but my readings are not as precise as other pieces of glassware.

• I am used to measure the volume of liquids or simply hold liquids. My volume readings are not precise.

• I am used to conduct chemical reactions. I must be stored in a test tube rack because of my rounded bottom.

I am the downward curve observed at the top of a liquid. The bottom of the curve allows scientists to read the volume of a liquid
