Mindfiesta Power House Hi Study Buddies,
Welcome to your page – your study space. If you are about to enter into the gravity of subjects then this space is your warm-up zone. If you have made a stop here on your way back from the content section, this will be your 'Science / Math lounge for learning'.
GOGGLES
GOGGLES are used to protect your eyes from broken glass, chemicals and flames.
FUNNEL
FUNNEL is used with filter paper to remove undissolved solids from a liquid mixture. It also can be used to help pour a liquid into a container that has a small opening.
EVAPORATING DISH
EVAPORATING DISH is used as a container for heating, usually to evaporate a liquid from some chemicals.
UTILITY CLAMP
UTILITY CLAMP can be used to hold many lab equipment items when it is attached to a ring stand. For example: test tubes, hoses, erlenmeyer flasks, burets.
LAB TONGS
LAB TONGS can be used to hold or pick up many items, but work best as tongs for picking up a hot evaporating dish.
BEAKER TONGS
BEAKER TONGS are best used to hold a hot beaker.
WIRE GAUZE
WIRE GAUZE can be used to support a beaker or flask during heating. When the bunsen burner flame is beneath it, the wire gauze helps to spread the flame and heat out evenly over the container.
TEST TUBE CLAMP
TEST TUBE CLAMP holds a test tube during heating.
TEST TUBE
TEST TUBE is used as a container to hold chemicals during heating or other reactions.
BALANCE
BALANCE is used to measure the mass of an object in grams.
WEIGHING PAPER
WEIGHING PAPER looks and feels like waxed paper. It is used with the balance so that the chemicals are placed on the paper instead of directly on the balance.
FORCEPS
FORCEPS are used to pick up small items in the laboratory.
THERMOMETER
THERMOMETER is used to measure temperature.
WASH BOTTLE
WASH BOTTLE is used to rinse glassware in the chemistry lab.
SEPARATORY FUNNEL
SEPARATORY FUNNEL is a glass container. A mixture of liquids can be poured into it and allowed to separate.
FLORENCE FLASK
FLORENCE FLASK is used to hold a liquid during heating.
MORTAR
MORTAR is the dish, and the PESTLE is the grinder. They are used to crush or grind up solid chemicals.
BEAKER
BEAKER doesn't measure the volume of liquids very accurately. It is usually used as a container for mixing or holding chemicals.
HYDROMETER
HYDROMETER floats or sinks when placed into a liquid which is related to the density of the liquid.
THISTLE TUBE
THISTLE TUBE is a special type of funnel.
FLINT LIGHTER
FLINT LIGHTER is used to ignite the flame of a BUNSEN BURNER The Gas collects inside the small cup, and the spark created ignites the gas.
DROPPER PIPET
DROPPER PIPET is a medicine dropper and just dispenses small drops of liquid.
CRUCIBLE
CRUCIBLE and its COVER are used to hold small amounts of chemicals during heating at high temperatures.
FILTERING FLASK
FILTERING FLASK has a side-arm which is connected to a low pressure source. This can speed up filtration.
WATCHGLASS
WATCHGLASS is used as a beaker cover.
STIRRING ROD
STIRRING ROD is used to stir combinations of chemicals, can also pour liquid down along it.
CLAY TRIANGLE
CLAY TRIANGLE is a frame which can support a container. It can hold a crucible during heating or can hold a funnel during filtering.
BURET CLAMP
BURET CLAMP is used to hold a buret.
CRUCIBLE TONGS
CRUCIBLE TONGS are designed to pick and hold a crucible.
HOT HANDS
HOT HANDS are a chemist's 'hot pot holder'. They are used to pick up hot glassware.
RING CLAMP
RING CLAMP is attached to the ring stand and is used as a support.
RUBBER STOPPER
RUBBER STOPPER with no holes is used as a 'plug' for a test tube or flask. When the stopper has a hole in it, a piece of tubing can be inserted in it.
SPOT PLATE
SPOT PLATE has a number of small 'wells'. Chemicals are placed into the small wells, and the reaction can be observed.
NUMBER OF BALANCE
This is a close up of the numbers on the balance.
CHROMATOGRAPHY PAPER
CHROMATOGRAPHY PAPER is used to separate a mixture. It comes in rolls, but used in short pieces.
CHEMICAL SPATULA
CHEMICAL SPATULA is used to transfer chemicals.
PIPET BULB
PIPET BULB is used to fill a pipet with liquid.
VOLUMETRIC PIPETS
VOLUMETRIC PIPETS are used to measure liquid.
ERLENMEYER FLASK
ERLENMEYER FLASK is a container which gives only approximate measurements of volume. It is usually used as a mixing vessel or a container for heating.
ROUND BOTTOM FLASK
ROUND BOTTOM FLASK is very similar to a florence flask.
GRADUATED CYLINDER
GRADUATED CYLINDER is used to measure the volume of liquids in mL.
VOLUMETRIC FLASK
VOLUMETRIC FLASK is used the measure one specific volume of liquid.
CONDUCTIVITY TESTER
CONDUCTIVITY TESTER is used to measure whether an object conducts electricity or not.
MAGNETIC STIR BAR
MAGNETIC STIR BAR is a magnet covered with teflon.
RING STAND
RING STAND offers the support, and the buret clamp is holding a buret.
RUBBER TUBING
RUBBER TUBING has a rubber stopper at one end and a PINCH CLAMP at the other end.
FILTER PAPER
FILTER PAPER is used to separate a mixture. It feels like thick coffee filter paper and has very small holes in it. It is folded into a 'cone' shape.
HOT PLATE
HOT PLATE is used as a heat source.
