It discusses test tubes, watch glasses, beakers, evaporating dishes, droppers, funnels, condensers, mortar and pestles, stirring rods, wire gauzes, iron stands, platform balances, test tube racks, spatulas, Bunsen burners, graduated cylinders, thermometers, test tube brushes, crucible tongs, distilling flasks, burette clamps, utility clamps, and pinch cocks. Each item is described in terms of its typical use or function.

1. GLASSWARES
1. Test tube- utilized for carrying out
reactions using small amounts of
materials
2. Watch glass- used for observing small
amount of solution for reaction

2. 1. Beaker- glass apparatus utilized in
paper chromatography or in setting up
a water bath
2. Evaporating dish- for the evaporation
of liquid/solution
3. Dropper- use for adding drops of
liquids

3. 1. Funnel –holds the filter paper during
filtration
2. condenser-used as a container of the
solution to be changed from gas to
liquid in the distillation process
3. Mortar and pestle-use for pounding
and grinding solid substances into
powder form

4. 1. Stirring rod- guides the
flow of liquids during
filtration
2. Wire gauze- protects and
supports glasswares
during heating
3. Iron stand – holds the iron
ring

5. 1. Platform balance- measures the mass
of materials
2. Test tube rack- receptacle for test
tubes that are not being used
3. Iron ring- supports the wire gauze

6. 1. Spatula- use for getting solids
2. Bunsen burner- source of heat in the
laboratory
3. Graduated cylinder – measures the
volume of liquids
4. Thermometer- measures the
temperature of objects

7. 1. Test tube brush –use for cleaning test
tubes
2. Iron stand – used to support the set up
for heating, distillation process
3. Crucible tong- used in holding hot
materials

8. 1. Distilling flask- used as a container of
the solution to be changed from gas to
liquid in the distillation process
2. Burette clamp- used to hold the
burettes in titration
3. Utility clamp-

9. 1. Pinch cock- used to suppress the liquid
flow in a rubber tube
2. Test tube holder- used to hold test
tube upon heating
