Multipurpose and essential in the lab.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/beaker.jpg" ></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Bottle</font></td> <td>Bottles can be ued for storage, for mixing and for displaying.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/bottle.jpg"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Bunsen Burner</font></td> <td>Bunsen burners are used for heating and exposing items to flame. They have many more uses than a hot plate, but do not replace a hot plate.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/burner.jpg"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Buret</font></td> <td>The buret is used in titrations to measure precisely how much liquid is used.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/buret.jpg"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Crucible</font></td> <td>Crucibles are used to heat small quantities to very high temperatures.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/crucible.jpg"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Erlenmeyer Flask</font></td> <td>The Erlenmeyer Flask is used to heat and store liquids. The advantage to the Erlenmeyer Flask is that the bottom is wider than the top so it will heat quicker because of the greater surface area exposed to the heat.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/erlenmyer.jpg"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Evaporating Dish</font></td> <td>The Evaporating Dish is used to heat and evaporate liquids.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/evaporating.jpg"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Florence Flask</font></td> <td>The Florence Flask is used for heating subtances 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.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/florence.jpg"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Food Coloring</font></td> <td>Food Coloring is used in many experiments to show color change and to make the experiment more exciting.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/foodcolor.jpg"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Funnel</font></td> <td>The Funnel is a piece of eqipment that is used in the lab but is not confined to the lab.

The sizes are from 0 to 8. Stoppers can have holes for thermometers and for other probes that may be used.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/stopper.jpg"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Test tube Brush</font></td> <td>The test tube brush is used to easily clean the inside of a test tube.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/tubecleaner.jpg"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Test tube Holder</font></td> <td>The holder is used to hold test tubes when they are hot and untouchable.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/testubetongs.jpg"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Test tube Rack</font></td> <td>The testtube rack is used to hold testtubes while reactions happen in them or while they are not needed.</font></td> <td><img height="103" width="90" src="../../media/lab/tuberack.jpg"></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Thermometer</font></td> <td>The thermometer is used to take temperature of solids, liquids, and gases.
